In the state of PA (Pennsylvania) any trailer with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) over 3000 Lbs. needs to be inspected annually. The state of Pennsylvania has a mandatory state vehicle inspection program. You must have your vehicle inspected yearly for safety.
The safety inspection is to keep you and the other drivers on the road safe.
Kindly be aware that, when looking at state documentation it can be confusing because, all the trailers we offer for sale are categorized as utility trailers. The term “utility trailers” encompasses a wide range of trailers, including dump trailers, equipment trailers, gooseneck trailers, tilt trailers, and more.
Safety inspections for recreational, semi- and utility trailers require that the following items be checked:
Before you arrive for your trailer inspection, ensure you bring your original and up-to-date registration or ownership card. Additionally, your trailer must have a clearly legible VIN plate or sticker. Please note that if either of these items is missing upon your arrival, we will be unable to perform the inspection.

My friend and driver always bragged on how great Brechbill Trailer Sales was, how great the prices, personal customer service was. I run a fleet of Hotshot Trucks and Gooseneck Trailers, and I am the creator and admin of Hotshot-USA Resource network, www.Hotshot-USA.com. I manage a large network for our industry. Recently I was in a bind. I had converted my elec Drum Brakes to Elec over Hydraulic disk. After a couple years I needed rotors, pads, and they were manufactured by DeeMax components. My trailer guys were unable and back ordered on parts, my trailer repair couldn’t find them. I called and looked furiously for them . When I did finally find them, they were $300 more than Brechbill. I remembered that my driver had mentioned that I give them a call. I did, talked to Justin and others there, Great service, They found, quoted and overnighted my parts straight to my shop. I was so impressed with them that I am adding them to my Hotshot Connections and told my friends in the business to contact them for all their parts. When I find a business like this that can help my trailers and my members, I get excited. I look forward to a long relationship with them. I honestly believe that you can not find a better source for all your trailer needs. Don’t get jacked by high mark ups on parts. Just because we are in need, no need to take advantage of us, Buy with confidence. 100% REAL TALK!

After searching the local businesses around MUNCY, PA. looking for a dump trailer, & waiting for return phone calls, we couldn’t justify paying that much for a trailer the size we were looking at. A couple days prior to going to Muncy, I Googled dump trailers and found “Brechbill Trailers” in Chambersburg, Pa. They had the same model & size for a lot better price, which would be worth the drive to go get one. We were unable to make any headway with the local dealership, so we drove to Brechbill Trailers, & we are very happy with the purchase we made. We got a heavier (load bearing) trailer for “Less $$$”, they explained everything about it & welcomed our business! Thank you Quinn for everything, including the extras! I’m sure you will be seeing us for more business in the future! We will be sure to mention you to our friends & family members! It was our pleasure working with you!

Went to pick up my trailer and needed some other items as well and their parts department were very helpful. They have my business for sure. Be sure to buy your trailer from these guys!
