Virtual Horse Trailer Safety Inspection
Not Sure If Your Trailer Is Safe?
We’ll Inspect It, Even If You Didn’t Buy It From Us.
You don’t have to bring your trailer to North Carolina.
You don’t have to be a Double D Trailers customer.

We review detailed photos of your trailer and send you:
✔ A personalized video inspection from our team

There is no cost for this inspection.

Why We Offer This for Free
We have seen too many preventable trailer failures.
Most owners never lift their mats.
Most don’t inspect crossmembers.
Most assume everything is fine because the outside looks clean.
Sometimes it is...
Sometimes it isn’t.
We would rather you know.
