What Size Dump Trailer Do You Really Need?

A lot of people get stuck when buying a dump trailer because they only think about how long it is. But picking the wrong size — too small or too big — can cost you time, money, and even safety. The right trailer size helps you haul more with fewer trips, keeps your truck in the safe zone, and saves you from repairs or overload fines. In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through the top things to know before you buy, so you get the right trailer for your work — not just one that "looks big enough."

How to Maintain Your Trailer for Long-Term Performance

Even the toughest trailers can wear down fast if they’re not taken care of. What often starts as a small issue—like a loose bolt or low fluid can lead to major repairs if it’s ignored. For those using their trailers daily in rough conditions, small maintenance steps aren’t just helpful, they're necessary. This guide walks through easy checks and habits that can help your trailer stay in top shape. Whether you're hauling rock, debris, or equipment, good upkeep means fewer breakdowns and more days on the job.

Steel vs. Aluminum Dump Trailers: What’s Better for You?

Buying a dump trailer isn’t just about picking what looks good or fits the budget. The material you choose, steel or aluminum, makes a big difference in how the trailer performs, holds up over time, and how often it needs repairs. Whether you’re hauling concrete, scrap, or mulch, your trailer should match the demands of the job. This guide breaks down the pros and cons of both steel and aluminum dump trailers so you can make a smarter, longer-lasting investment.
