Felling Trailers is hosting its twelfth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to support a nonprofit organization. The 2024 beneficiary is Backing the Blue Line, an organization dedicated to supporting the law enforcement community.
The goal of the partnership is to raise awareness about the work that the volunteer-run Backing the Blue Line does for officers and their families, and to do so, Felling Trailers has manufactured and painted a custom grey trailer with a blue line and the Backing the Blue Line emblem. Various suppliers of Felling Trailers are sponsoring the construction of the trailer as well, assisting in constructing from lighting and tires to decking. The 2024 Trailer for a Cause sponsors are Trans-Texas, PPG, Dexter, Sealco, Peterson, Industrial Wood (Blackwood), Demco, and Pacific Rim.
