Question Need to borrow a trailer

Have to pick up my metal siding in Springfield Tuesday. If I take my stock trailer I'll have to break the bundles and hand load everything. If I have a flatbed they can just set it on with the forklift.

A little background. I grew up pulling hay wagons to horse trailers. Also did 80,000 mi hauling custom cars in an enclosed trailer. So I'm not the sort that will be dragging your trailer through the ditches and over the curbs.

Local rental yard only has car trailers with the short sides. Looking for flatbed.

Let me know if we can work something out.

P.S. Closed the deal on our property a couple weeks back. Looks like I'm here to stay.

Might give Wildcat rental a call at highway 60 and 125. They carry all kinds of trailers. I will still be in the hayfields with our 28 foot gooseneck.

I've got a 12ft trailer. I have a 2x10 across the front might be a little short of 12ft. I'll let you borrow it. Call me 417 569 4026
