I have recently developed a strong interest in purchasing a trailer. I’ve spent considerable time watching YouTube videos about converting trailers and vehicles into versatile spaces such as small offices and tiny homes. These videos sparked the idea of making an investment that could benefit both my personal life and professional goals. Initially, I envisioned using the trailer as a remote office; however, I’ve temporarily set aside that plan.

In the short term, I needed to transport a Suburban from Texas to Alabama by towing it with my Chevy 1500 truck. This required a bumper-pull trailer that would also be enclosed to align with my future plans of converting it into a mobile office. After researching various options, I decided that a cargo trailer—specifically a car hauler—would be the best fit.

Following an extensive search, I found a trailer that seemed ideal for my needs. On April 2, 2025, I purchased a 24-foot cargo trailer from A & A Center Trailers in Jonesboro, Georgia.

The journey to Atlanta from central Alabama presented several personal challenges. During this time, I was the primary caregiver for my mother, who was battling cancer. Sadly, she passed away on April 17, 2025. May she rest in peace—she was incredibly strong throughout her fight. In order to complete the transaction with A & A Center Trailers, I arranged for a professional caregiver to relieve me of duty while I traveled to Atlanta to procure my future goals.

I arrived at A & A Center Trailers at 4:45 PM on April 2, just 15 minutes before closing. Partly because I forgot to calculate the hour time difference between the two states. The entire day was quite rushed, to say the least, but I was able to complete the purchase under tight timing constraints. As stated in a previous post “I have never owned a trailer and do not possess the expertise to inspect or evaluate trailers in the manner of a licensed dealer or certified mechanic”. Let me reiterate that this is my first trailer purchase.

Next up is “The Transaction”.
