I have a renter of a farm house I own that wants to borrow my 16 foot car trailer. He has sort of been down on his luck and if it wasn't for bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all. This opportunity could be the turning point in his joblessness. He says he has a job lined up to haul a semi tractor cab from St. Louis back to Iowa. So my trailer with marginal taillights and turn signals would be on the road possibly 600 miles round trip. His driving record is not the best. I question whether his old Dodge Dakota is worthy of the trip. I think he might be a drinker as well. Anyway by loaning him the trailer am I putting myself in a position of liability should something happen on the road?? Is renting him the trailer any different than loaning it? I really hate loaning equipment out as well as borrowing someone else's equipment. I don't want to hurt his opportunity for success, but have to look out for myself.
