Im going to talk about my truck and trailer and the equipment I use to do take trips and make money with Uship.. My name is Nicholas Johnson and this is the Space Warehouse.

This is my truck. Its a 2003 Ford Superduty. For those of you who dont realize how old you’ve gotten, that makes this truck 18 years old!
I specifically went for the 5.4 gas model. And I made that choice DEFINITELY not because it has more power compared to the diesel model this thing is slow and weak. But its super easy to maintain, and parts for it are super cheap, gas is a bit cheaper than diesel. AND while pulling a loaded 24 foot trailer this truck averages between 1011 miles per gallon..

Also, I just hit 300,000 miles on my last trip and this thing doesn’t leak anything, barely burns any oil and runs really really smoothly.
A huge benefit of buying a much older towing rig compared to one thats just a few years old is that you can get the luxury version for like a tenth of its original price! Mine is the Lariat all leather, power everything, 4x4 with the transmission cooler and everything and I bought this thing for $5000! This had to be like a $40,000 truck and I assume it ran about like it does now when it was new because nothings wrong with the thing.

As for hauling rigs, I have two and based on my trip and what I find to bring along, that determines which trailer I’m pulling. Option A is the comfort option my toy hauler RV.. Its a 28 foot camper with basically a 13 foot garage in the back that has a ramp so you can drive motorcycles, ATVs, a side by side or shove furniture or whatever else you want in there. I can keep this thing temperature controlled, so if Im hauling art or animals this is what I go with. Also, its a house, so you dont have to worry about hotels, and you can cook meals on the road! The down side, of course, is that you can only fit 13 foot or smaller things in there, which means no cars. Or no motorcycle, UTV combos; no entire apartment moves.
So if I find those higher paying loads before I leave, thats when I go with option number 2, the 26 foot enclosed car hauler. This trailer can obviously carry much heavier loads its easier to push stuff into it because its super low to the ground, and has way more space. It also pulls easier Im guessing thats a combination of two things, its lower to the ground and also has E rated tires, which can pump up to 80psi. More air in the tires = lower rolling resistance = easier to haul. Thats an upgrade I would suggest anyone with a cargo trailer gets… My RV has wimpy little soft tires on it, so it can carry less and its harder to pull.

But with the cargo trailer, if Im going across the whole country, I either have to sleep in the truck, sleep in the back (weather permitting) or give away some of my profits to hotels. Which is usually fine because you can make a lot more profit with a lot more space.. USUALLY. Sometimes, you just cant find stuff.

Having a big truck and two fairly big trailers of course requires you to have somewhere to put all of that, so thats another thing to consider. I made some good choices a bunch of years ago when I decided I needed some space to like.. Do stuff. To build things, to work on vehicles, to store things and I found a little piece of land just a couple miles from where I live in orlando Florida, and I got a tree trimming company to dump a bunch of mulch on there, and its just my spot to keep everything and fuck around in.
Thats my set up, I’ve been using it for the last couple of years when I go on Uship trips, and Im quite happy with the flexibility. Uship.
