we ’ ve restarted with a flurry and are now manufacturing more units per day than what we ever thought was possible this early on .
NATDA : What motivated you to only build enclosed models for now ?
MORGAN : It ’ s what we excel at , and I use the term excel with purpose . We ’ re not going to put out a unit that doesn ’ t live up to our own high expectations . For now , that means we ’ re focusing on what we can deliver with perfection .
NATDA : Enclosed trailers aren ’ t new to the industry . What sets Haul-About apart ?
MORGAN : Businesses are not names , they are people . Our products are clean , have a nice fit and finish , and carry some extra weight to add strength to the product . But , the true strength to our company lies in the people that have designed and crafted these “ next-generation ” trailers . From the time we answer the phone to the time we release the trailer for shipment , it ’ s all about our people . They make the difference and it easily allows us to sit apart from other manufacturers .
NATDA : Haul-About ’ s trailers are named after big cats . Is there a story behind that ?
MORGAN : In the oil industry , a wildcatter is someone who looks for oil in unexplored areas . We are the “ wildcat ” family in the trailer business . We have molded a company that has already and will continue to design and build trailers with a fresh , out-of-the-box perspective . We wanted our name to reflect the “ wildcat ” mentality we bring to the table . We truly are wildcat entrepreneurs striking oil everywhere we drill .
NATDA : What are you looking for in potential partnerships with dealers ?
MORGAN : We ’ re searching for dealers with the desire and eagerness to attack each and every day . The wildcat mentality is something we want to permeate from the manufacturer all the way down to the consumer . Our dealer partners will , hopefully , embody that as well . We don ’ t want them all , just the ones we can relate to and the ones with which we have a good match .
NATDA : Does Haul-About have any new models or feature modifications coming out this year or next ?
MORGAN : Yes , we do . However , we ’ re going to play our cards close to the vest for now . We ’ ve got a lot of exciting announcements , though , that I think will not only excite dealers but consumers as well . As always , we will announce those through NATDA when the time comes .
