I took a deposit on my firewood delivery truck today, I hadn't really planned on selling it but the price was right. I had been contemplating having just one truck and using a dump trailer instead of having all the associated costs of two vehicles. The truck I have left is a single rear wheel 3500 4x4 and my hope is to have a dump trailer that can haul a cord and a half and occasionally haul another half cord in the pickup. I want to keep the dump trailer to a cord and a half because my friend has a Toyota Tundra with a 10,000 lb tow capacity and he'll be using the dump trailer for firewood at times. I assume some people haul two cords in a dump trailer, but that might be a little heavy for these trucks.
I'd like a new one, but a real clean second hand one will do just fine. I like the idea of being able to leave the trailer right under the firewood processor conveyor and not have it holding up the truck from being used elsewhere.
Any opinions on what style and brand to get? I have very little to no experience with dump trailers.
