The Trailer Company

What The Trailer Company does

The Trailer Company (legal name The Trailer Co Inc) is a privately held trailer manufacturer and dealer headquartered at 234 Mt Vernon Ave, Bakersfield, California. The company operates in two integrated roles: as a manufacturer of its proprietary TTC-branded trailers (Hydraulic Floor, Commodity, Ag-Lite Commodity, Belt, Refuse, Chip Tipper, Refuse Tipper, and HYD Lids) and as the largest west coast dealer for Wilson Livestock Trailers alongside distribution of CIMC Open Top trailers. The product line integrates third-party floor technologies from Keith Walking Floor Systems and Hallco Floor Systems, with capacity ranges of 116-137 cubic yards depending on trailer type and segment.

Revenue is generated across four streams: new trailer sales (proprietary TTC plus distributed Wilson and CIMC brands), used trailer resale ($27,500-$78,500 unit pricing), parts distribution covering 30+ major transportation industry brands, and service and repair through a 13-bay facility offering warranty work for Keith, Hallco, Thermo King, Great Dane, Wilson, Hendrickson, and Bendix. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales from Bakersfield, a regional dealer inquiry program, trade show presence across agricultural, trucking, waste, and dealer-association events, and an online parts storefront. The company is operated by Sandhills Global, Inc. as a hosted website on the TruckPaper.com platform and serves commercial haulers in the refuse, livestock, agricultural commodities, and wood products segments, with primary geographic focus on the west coast United States.

• East Manufacturing: Manufacturer of aluminum dump trailers, refuse trailers and platform trailers with strong presence in agricultural and waste hauling; closest direct competitor in commodity and refuse semi-trailers with configurability focus similar to TTC.
• MAC Trailer: Family-owned manufacturer of dry van, dump, chip, and agricultural trailers competing in many of the same categories as TTC, particularly commodity and tipper applications.
• Wilson Trailer Company: Manufacturer of livestock, grain and specialty trailers - TTC is West Coast distributor for Wilson Silver Star livestock trailers, making the relationship both partnership and direct competition in livestock/configurable trailer categories.
• Travis Body & Trailer: Texas-based manufacturer of dump, refuse and end-dump trailers serving Western U.S. markets; competes with TTC's refuse, tipper and chip hauler product lines on similar regional customer bases.

Others

• Sandhills Global (parent) TruckPaper.com: Parent company of TTC and operator of TruckPaper.com and other TruckPaper regional marketplaces; relevant because it controls TTC's online demand channel and peer dealer listings across the same equipment categories.
