[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 552466, member: 2862"] When I was looking at going back into custom hauling I started looking into aluminums. Every commercial guy and hotshotter that I talked to recommended cross beams at 6 inches to help prevent flex and cracking. They also heavily recommended rivetted construction versus welding as the rivets were less likely to crack or break out. And if IIRC, that meant that Wilson was about the only trailer that would meet those specifications. Of course, these guys are putting hundreds of thousands of miles on their trailers. The average rancher likely doesn't need to get _that_ gung ho on trailer specs. Although, IIRC, the Wilson wasn't far off the price of a Featherlite either. Rod [/QUOTE]
