If dumping here were free I guess it would be a whole different scenario. Maybe I need to pick up shop and move to TX!

 Philla used to allow free dumping if you lived in the city. But no trucks, only cars. All the rehabbers bought old "window vans" because they were classified as station wagons. 

There was one guy running around who cut the roof out of his with a sawsall so he could pile the crap higher. It got out of control with some guys doing nothing but hauling trash with window vans for a living. Then they shut it down.

I have to supply customers with Acord Forms all the time. It is proof to them that I am carrying insurance and that it's current. If my policy lapses for whatever reason, they will get notification (In theory, in reality it doesn't always happen).

In my world (contracting) calling my insurance company and having an Acord Form sent out is free.

On the other hand, Putting someone on my policy as "Additional Named Insured" costs me extra money. How much more I forget. I know I dealt with someone who was requesting to be "Additional Named Insured" and I wasn't happy about it for some reason. I honestly can't remember why though.

Plenty of small trailer manufacturers will build to your specs. High sides , low sides, fold down sides, whatever you want. 

The "additional named insured" thing costs more for whoever is purchasing the policy. As a landlord you would be better protected in theory, but for exactly what, I forget.

 Hi Joe: I think it means only you get notified if the policy lapses or the tenant cancels later.  

 Yeah, that is what the "Acord Forms" I deal with are all about. They are just a notification system for a third party that your insurance is current.

They live in the same house and sue each other?

The sister may have no intention of closing the deal. She might just want you to play some "part" in their drama

Years ago I used this guy, Jay Barry Harris I think his name was. He was reasonably priced and honest. Spent a lot of time explaining things to me and didn't run up the hours.

You're the one with the money, you can ask whatever you want.

They may chose not to show you, but you can chose to walk away.
