They called themselves the tinker club and during this timeframe the original design for an enclosed cargo trailer came about and so there was a decision that was made I think it was like in 1953 to hop into the cargo trailer business and start building trailers.

A flatdeck is a flatdeck and customers sometimes just say, “I'm looking for a flatdeck”. They're not looking for a particular brand; they're not looking for anything like that, because they believe a flatdeck is a flatdeck. So that being said, what do you believe makes your trailers standout so they're not just another flatdeck?

With having associations like NATM it kind of allows the collaboration of all the manufacturers so we can all get together to say “what are our big obstacles right now”. Whether government regulations or whatever it may be we can all work together to figure out how we can come up with a resolution to those.
