Hasn't been mentioned yet, may be a downside I'm missing but here goes;
High density nylon that is used to line dumptrucks, dumpsters, and such. It usually comes in sheets, its often white, and slippery as a greased pig.
If you were to put that on the deck of your trailer it would keep your center of gravity low, protect the bed surface, and the interior sides of the fender walls if you felt so inclined. Also, it would have the least effect on your trailers hauling capacity regarding weight.
I'm not sure of the cost, but it would do what you need until you save some money.
You could, and this adds a step, leave the sheets in your truck until the tractor comes off, then fasten them to the trailer deck, and with the weight of the logs it wouldn't need much to fasten.
This way, when you want to sell your trailer, the deck will still be nice.
Final note, after you drop the last load, you can leave the sheets of nylon at home and get the tractor.
You have a new mistress in this venture, hope the wife doesn't get jealous.
