Gooseneck dump trailer

[fried1765]

I had a Load Trail 14K gooseneck dump trailer. I had it overloaded (farm plates) multiple times hauling gravel and it didn't care. I sold it because I didn't use it enough, but the thing was very well built.
I have a Big Tex 20K gooseneck and I believe the build quality of the Load Trail was better.

I've never really cared about the paint, the trailer is a tool and paint doesn't affect functionality. Dad has a 1992 32' gooseneck without almost no paint left and it still hauls just fine.

Little River, TX is nearly 1,000 miles from the rust belt, and a 3 hour drive from the salt water Gulf of Mexico.
Good quality paint is VERY important in rust prone locations.

So true.
5 years of roads treated with salt separates the quality painted trailers from the bad.
