I'm going through the same process of purchasing food trailers from alibaba. I'm purchasing 3 trailers, and they will be sent in a 40ft. Container. I don't have any experience about shipping freight from a different country. Trying to find a company that can handle everything from A through Z. Can you refer someone to me?

Hi! I used the freight forwarder the manufacturer used but you are able to choose your own. If I remember correctly, it was 1600.

The trick to backing a trailer is this: put your driving hand at the 6 o clock position on your steering wheel - not noon. Then look in your mirrors and which ever way you want your trailer to go your hand will go. Want it to go left your hand will go left on wheel. This was taught to me by a semi driver and it made life ez. Hope this helps you

I cannot say “Thank you” enough for your videos!!! I recently saw a trailer of this style for sale on FB Market Place and by the time the seller responded to my question on the condition of the trailer it was already pending for pickup. As a result of that I decided to look again (yes I was considering buying last year but was afraid of the customs-delivery process and didn’t know where to find info. I recently found out that Amazon now has the imported trailer option so I’m looking again.
