Choosing the Right Trailer for your Business

If the time has come where you're now in the need for a more suitable truck trailer for your operations or maybe the scope of your operations have changed or your volumes have picked up; choosing the right trailer for your truck has some real significance to the success of business. Your choice of trailer could be the difference between you recording a profit or a loss on the work you are carrying out as well as compliance matters in relation to state and federal regulations. Despite the choice seeming fairly straight forward, there can actually be a little more than meets the eye when it comes to selecting the right truck trailer. From our experience, you should start by considering your needs with trailer functionality. For example, you should be asking yourself questions like, What loads will you typically be transporting? What are the average lengths of your trips? Other considerations are to determine the trailer's size, based on the amount of goods for an average delivery. You should also be factoring in considerations like how much product you will load and unload from the trailer or the frequency that you will need to load and unload as well as the configurations of the loading docks that you use. One thought that can often slip an owners mind is the scope of growth you could experience. Do you have potential for growth and maybe the need for a larger trailer? Our team at Sloanebuilt Trailers are happy to provide some guidance in the area.
