I named about the 21st of May, and talked with Mr. Bernstein Hurst about creating me a brand new truck. We discussed a 18' fender truck having a 2' dovetail, with two 7k# axles with fold-up gates, rub-rail, 8" funnel body and language. Additionally with flexible 2 5/16 hitch and 10k# port, and all DOT needed illumination. I requested a trailer out of this organization about the 22nd of May from Mr. Hurst's boy Greg, when purchasing, I questioned just how long the gates were and he explained they must be 5.5' with this truck, I questioned exactly what the space was about the cross-members, and Greg explained 16" oc. I ask if he'd place braces about the slam thighs, he explained they'd. I also directed them to primary and paint underneath of the truck, and was advised they'd. I had been informed my Mr. Hurst about the 21st he might have this truck prepared for me personally to get in two times and Greg established this after I requested it, I told Greg that I'd not have the ability to get until Friday the 27th and he explained he'd see me them. On Friday the 24th i named to verify the truck could be prepared on Friday. I talked to Greg and he advised me they didn’t possess the axles and wouldn't possess the truck prepared before center towards the end-of the following week. I told him it was not appropriate, when I had offered my previous truck recently and required the brand new truck on mon to move gear to WV to get a work I'd going there. We talked a few more occasions that evening and there appeared to be no method to obtain the truck on friday. Greg explained his father might contact me later that morning, after getting no-call back, I named him at 6pm that night, Mr. Hurst explained he likewise didn’t possess the metal for that body and wouldn’t contain it before mon, nothing stated concerning the axles. I told him this could be charging me a sizable amount of cash since I have had a need to transfer gear friday night. There appeared to be no answer and that I ultimately decided to get the truck on wed the 29th. After I turned up about the 29th, the truck was resting before the manufacturer, the very first thing i observed was the bottom of the truck wasn't decorated and several regions of the topside likewise wasn’t included nicely with color. I also recognized the cross-members were on 24" space and never 16" as cited in my experience about the telephone. The following point i observed was that there have been just two gun lamps about the middle back of the truck, i requested Mr. Hurst about that and he explained it didn’t require three, that two was enough. He decided to paint underneath easily was prepared to watch for them to operate it back through the paint store. I decided and after 2 hours, I had been prepared to return house with the truck. It ripped excessively well and appeared to be an excellent truck. After I got home and also it to become examined, it failed for all factors. No license plate light or support, Dot demands the any trailer more than 80" wide, have precisely three red lamps arranged within the middle back of the truck, there is just two and there is a group welded in the manner to avoid the inclusion of the 3rd light. Additionally, it failed since it didn’t have lamps about the largest area of the truck (bumpers) reddish facing back and amber facing forward. I also recognized the gates were just 5' and never 5.5 as cited. Throughout the first utilization of the truck, (operating without condition examination) the leading correct wheel brake held locking up, needed to operate without trailer wheels. During installing the fender lamps recently, i realized that the brake drum about the wheel that was securing up didn’t complement another 3 drums. I currently genuinely believe that one or more of the axles was a used axle and have been fixed or try to fix. I've delivered a 6k# skidsteer with this truck and also the axles are striking about the frame, it's assume to carry atleast 10k#, easily packed 10k# onto it, it'd be bottomed out, axle to frame. This purchase may be the greatest headache I've actually been included in. I'd chose to accept the absent lamps, the incorrect cross-member space, brief gates, base and several places not decorated nicely, because of being to date to visit make sure they are repair it (more than 6 hours one of the ways), however now you will find a lot of things wrong to take. I'll be calling tomorrow to need they make me another truck out-of fresh supplies so that as cited, and that I may eat-all the problem I've needed to day and also the lengthy visit to return this bit of crap. Please be familiar with these problems if you're considering buying from hurst trailers, washburn, tn.
