Just for comparison purposes....

2021 PJ Trailers 14K Low-Profile Dump PRO (DL) 14' D140 | Fayette Trailers LLC

2021 Load Trail DT14 83" x 14' dump (14K) - 24" Sides LTD140 | Fayette Trailers LLC

What I do not like about those 2 is that they do not have the side board slots, on the Appalachian dumps you can drop 2 or 3 2X6 boards in so that you have a replaceable bump rail along the sides. The PJ and Load Trail do not have that ad to me that is a pretty important feature on a dump trailer that is going to be used primarily for getting loaded by a front loader from a compact tractor or skid steer.

They are a nice touch but not necessary. My Big Tex, Load Trail, Lamar and PJ, all have side boards but no brackets, just stake pockets and a piece of aluminum angle in the front corners.

That you in the leg brace?

Nope, that would be my driver, she stood up wrong off the couch and popped a small bone in her ankle.

Maybe it's a regional thing??? But what the heck is a breadbox and skateboard when talking about trailers?

Skateboard = flatbed (OTR jargon, I used to be a driver-trainer OTR)
Box trailer = shoebox

Oh and yes, LOA is what I’m using 32’ to be defined as... and funny you said “breadbox” ... it was a retired bread delivery unit too. So here are correct parallel web image examples. Axle position and type, door type & location, nose and deck design too. It’s 2AM currently & I don’t have a recent image of my trailers on this new phone that I’ve had for just a couple weeks & still don’t have everything migrated to yet....
