KNOXVILLE, TN… K & L Trailer Sales and Leasing, Inc. of Knoxville, Tennessee has many coal haulers for customers. That is why they recommend Trailstar Trailers for durability and workmanship.

Outside Sales Manager Ken Fellhoelter states, “Trailstar is our biggest seller by far. We can’t keep a used Trailstar on our lot. They are built to last.”

K&L sells a lot of frameless dumps to their customers for hauling coal and agricultural commodities, nearly all of which are custom spec’d. Most of the trailers haul 10-15 loads per day, so the folks at K&L usually specs 8” centers on the cross members and a 3/8” floor to stand up to severe duty use. Many trailers that are 10-15 years old still have a floor as flat as the day they were new.

Ken notes, “When we sell a customer a Trailstar trailer, they become a Trailstar customer for life. We like the fact that Trailstar will build a trailer to exact specifications for our customers.”
