I paid a little extra for mine and avoided the trouble of buying it directly from the government. I paid $900 from a guy on Craigslist in Wisconsin.
If you want to buy from the government check out:

There is a bunch of guys on there that buy and restore military surplus items.
After you've done your research check out:
http://www.govliquidation.com/index.html
That is the government's version of ebay. I've never done it myself but from what I can tell it could take up to months to get what your bought. They do a background check on you for each purchase. A couple post i've read the guys have said they will never do it again because it wasn't worth it.
Some trailers to watch for are:
American m101a1 (no surge brakes)
American m101a2 (surge brakes)
Canadian M101 same name but a smaller trailer.
watch out for any other trailers. a lot are designed for very big trucks and weight 2000plus pounds empty.
