    Anyone coming from Georgia to the upper midwest in January?

    Looking at purchasing an enclosed trailer from a manufacturer in Georgia and would need it brought up north. I can't get off work to go get it and UShip is pretty darn expensive. Willing to pay someone if they are coming this way anyways. Trailer will be a 7x16 Tandem Axle Enclosed.

    I doubt most Soufers are willing to travel north in January Better toss in a snowmobile trip too.

    Flattery like that should help your cause immensely.

    Haha, yeah I'm just giving you southern guys a hard time. I can't handle the heat and humidity. Give me -20 any day over 100 with high humidity.

    Fall/Winter is my favorite, provided it's spent mostly south of the 35th parallel (I did 22 years of Iowa winters).

    Are you purchasing it from maxbuilt trailers by chance?

    Looking at purchasing from Reedys Trailers. It has a 5-6 week build time but not sure if it will be worth buying it down there with the cost of shipping.
