FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there a minimum amount of inventory required to become a dealer for Walton Trailers?
Yes, minimum initial inventory amounts are required to become a dealer and may vary depending on the market size and the opportunity near you. After review of your proposed location, a Walton Dealer Specialist will determine the minimum initial inventory investment needed to become a dealer.
How large of a territory/sales area will I have if I become a dealer?
Sales areas are determined on an individual basis and are strongly influenced by a number of factors. Some factors that help determine a sales area include: market size, population density, market demographics, dealer’s location and facilities, dealer’s product exclusivity and a dealer’s regular stocking inventory levels.
How does Walton ship trailers to my location?
A typical shipment of trailers is usually delivered to the dealer on a 48′ flat deck or 53′ step-deck semi-trailer. Dealers located in close proximity to a manufacturing plant can also take advantage of our own delivery trucks.
What would be my freight costs for a load of trailers?
Freight is charged on a per-loaded-mile basis. Typically, freight rates charged by Walton Trailers are much lower than market value as Walton regularly subsidizes freight to its dealers through a freight credit on full loads.
Do I need any equipment to unload trailers when they are shipped to me?
Dealers use a variety of methods to unload trailers. While some dealers have the luxury of having an over-head crane or hoist, the most popular method of unloading trailers is utilizing a forklift. A 8,000-10,000lb capacity forklift is recommended with at least 8′ fork extensions.
How long does it typically take to order trailers from Walton?
Walton Trailers maintains a modest amount of inventory on hand. This means that Walton can ship the most popular and best-selling model configurations to your dealership faster than most manufacturers. Special order and custom trailers are also available. However, lead times for those products are usually longer than regular in-stock models.
Does Walton Trailers build other types of trailers and are they available to me as a dealer?
Walton Trailers is one of the few manufacturers that is willing to build custom trailers. Our in-house engineering team can work with a dealer to customize trailers to the unique needs of its customers.
Can Walton Trailers help me with marketing?
