If you are looking for storage for your trucks and trailers, Harbor Freight has a couple good options for cheap.

Here is what I use for the trucks: it’s item 93928.
I use a few of these.

As you can see it can fit quite a few.

For the trailers I use another bin, but I don’t have the item number.

The trailers fit nicely and if double stacked you can fit 14 per bin. There is also storage on the sides, and it also makes a nice storage container for barrels, auto trailer cars, the slide for the crate loader, or whatever.

All in all, I’ve spent maybe $40/$50 on around half a dozen of these. Remember to use a coupon and acquire some nice storage containers!

Here is the one's I bought from Harbor Freight. But I like the one your using for trailers. I'm going to put something between those trailers. I would be worried about them sticking together, in the hot climate where I live. I have a insulated garage but it does get hot from time to time.

Hey guys. Today I bought 4 clear ones from Harbor Freight as shown above. I put all my cabs, trailers, and vehicles in them and they look great!

Here is another option for storing and transporting US-1 vehicles and trailers. It is a Plano Pro Latch Utility Box Model 3700 plastic container that was originally designed for fishing lure storage. It measures 14in x 9in x 2in with 5 divided spaces that can be sized with slide in spacers. They are easy to find at any sporting goods store in the fishing section and are about $8. I wrap the vehicles and trailers with bubble wrap for extra protection and use the flexible bubble wrap not the stiff type. I also use a piece of masking tape to seal the end which I write a description on it with a pen. You really don’t have to do the bubble wrap if the container is just going to be on a shelf and not moved around.
