You mean the trailer?
Dude, I sold my dump truck. I need the dump trailer like NOW
I guess that’s why Load Trail won’t return calls. They aren’t taking any custom orders

I don't know about PA, but here in Arizona the price of hay is always high. 10 years ago when I first retired I bought and sold hay, then China started buying it and I had to quit it. The haul was too far, mostly Utah. 1500 big bales is a lot of hay and a lot of money, buy the Diamond C
Trailers have gotten super expensive. I want a 102"x28'-30' flatbed, 16k gvw Diamond C, but dang, they are $2-$3k more than Load Trail. I feel your pain, $3k is a lot of money for me.

Just buy what you want, it'll be cheaper and easier to just buy what you need the first time then fighting something that doesn't work and having to sell it.

Re: Building an 8 to 16 foot gooseneck dump trailer
Well the best I can find on a lot is a Sure Trac 16K. Not really what I want. I can go get it anytime I want (on dealer lot), but its kind of a compromise for me. It would probably work ok, but was hoping to get something with more like a 20K GVWR. Must be a deck over with folding sides.
In normal times, I could order from PJ, but theyre not building deck over dumps anymore.
Or I can order from Load Trail, but theyre not taking custom orders.
Diamond C just too expensive.
