Find the Perfect Cargo Trailer Without Dealership Pressure
REAL TRAILERS. REAL LIFE.
Cargo Trailers Built for Real Work and Real Life
If you have been burned by high-pressure dealerships or driven hours only to find limited selection, you understand the frustration. Most buyers in Spokane and North Idaho face the same problem. Urban dealerships push whatever sits on the lot. Rural selection means settling for what you can find.
Northwest Rides exists to fix that.
We stock enclosed trailers for contractors hauling tools and materials to the job site. We carry cargo trailers for small business owners building mobile workshops. We have enclosed cargo trailers for recreational users loading ATVs, dirt bikes, and camping gear.
You tell us what you are hauling. We help you choose the right size and specifications. No spec confusion. No pressure. Transparent pricing on every unit. Free delivery to your door if you are within 300 miles of Rathdrum.
Why Buyers Choose Northwest Rides
Here is what makes buying from us different:
- Pre-inspected inventory from brands that perform
We carry Haulmark, Alcom, and Diamond Cargo. Every trailer on our lot is checked for brakes, tires, seals, lighting, and frame integrity before it goes home with you. - Custom build options for specific needs
Do not see exactly what you need in stock? We work with our brand partners to create custom builds with shelving, electrical packages, ramps, insulation, and more. - Free delivery within 300 miles
Our Rathdrum location is minutes from Hayden, Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Sandpoint, and Spokane. Delivery covers Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Sandpoint, Missoula, Seattle, Tri-Cities, Kalispell, Boise, No extra fees. - Family-owned with transparent pricing
We quote one price. That is the price. No surprise fees at the end. Real people answer the phone at (208) 500-8700. - Financing available on most inventory
We offer financing options that fit your budget. Approvals typically come back within 24 hours. - Multiple brand options because one size does not fit every buyer
Haulmark, Alcom, and Diamond Cargo each offer distinct advantages. We recommend the brand that fits your specific use case — not the one that pays the highest commission.
Who These Cargo Trailers Are For
Northwest Rides cargo trailer inventory works for:
- Contractors and tradespeople who need organized storage for tools, ladders, compressors, and job-site materials. A clean, well-built enclosed trailer reflects a professional operation.
- Small business owners who need mobile workshops, secure cargo transport, or concession setups. Custom builds with electrical packages, vents, concession windows, and insulation make this possible.
- Recreational users who haul ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, camping gear, and outdoor equipment. Weatherproof storage from the trailhead to the campsite matters when you live the Inland Northwest lifestyle.
- Retired buyers and seasoned outdoorsmen looking for a dependable, well-built trailer for hobbies, toy hauling, or cross-country travel. We serve every stage of life, not just the weekend racer.
- Anyone in the Spokane and North Idaho area who wants local service without driving to a distant dealership. Our Rathdrum location is minutes away. Free delivery covers a 300-mile radius.

Cargo Trailer Configurations — What to Know Before You Buy
Cargo trailers come in several configurations. Here is what each one means for your haul. Available across our Haulmark, Alcom, and Diamond Cargo lines.
Call or text (208) 500-8700 to check current stock in the configuration you need.
Single Axle
One axle, lighter weight, lower cost. Suits load under 3,500 pounds GVWR. A good fit for recreational users and light-duty contractors. Less stable at highway speeds than a tandem axle.
Tandem Axle
Two axles with higher payload capacity and better braking. Handles loads up to 14,000 pounds GVWR. The standard choice for contractors and business owners who run I-90 regularly. More stable at speed and safer on long hauls.
V-Nose (Wedge Front)
Angled front wall instead of flat. Cuts wind drag and improves fuel economy on highway runs. Adds a small amount of storage space at the nose. Popular with buyers who log serious miles.
Flat Front
Vertical front wall, simpler construction. Lower cost than a V-nose at the same interior size. A solid choice for buyers who prioritize usable space over aerodynamics.
Ramp Door
Rear door folds down to form a loading ramp. The standard setup for cars, ATV, motorcycle, and equipment haulers. Makes loading heavy gear straightforward.
Rear Barn Doors
Two doors open outward at the rear. Better for cargo you access frequently throughout the day. Common in contractor and business setups where the trailer is a working tool, not just a hauler.

Pavel was great! Worked with him while deciding exactly what trailer I wanted. Great communication and it finally all worked out. Got our perfect setup yesterday and couldn’t be happier!!!
Joseph Garcia

Nothing but good things to say. The whole sales process was excellent. Pavel was so patient and easy to deal with. He answered and explained all my many questions. He made suggestions, but didn’t push anything. The only hard part was waiting for my build to be delivered 😁 Thanks Northwest Rides!
Vance Lubahn

Couldn’t be happier with the enclosed trailer I bought from northwest rides. I came from western Washington because they had exactly what I was looking for. Julia and Pavel were awesome to do business with. They had my trailer ready to go when I arrived and made the process a breeze. I would absolutely make the drive again! Thanks again!
