Picked myself up a new Diamond C dump trailer today 82x14. With fold down sides for pallet loading. To hell with unloading by hand. I am feeling pretty fancy

Unloading by hand? How do you unload it off the trailer ?
Doesn't your tile suppliers offer delivery? I get a load delivered for $75 up to 2 pallets.
and all of them drop with a mule into the garage.
I just lift the dump and the tile slides out the back. I meant unloading trash and debris. I know a couple of them do offer delivery but I have 2 flatbed trucks so I have never asked but man that is cheap and well worth it. Since the only flatbed trailers I have are goosenecks hauling the skid in the winter months during a storm with the salt spreader in the back of the truck is a pain in the ass, I have to pull the spreader, load it on the trailer, hooking up the trailer, load and booming down the skid, then unload the skid, unhooking the trailer, pull the spreader off the trailer, then put it back in the truck over and over again. I have been looking for a bumper pull also I told myself that my next big purchase was going to be a dump trailer. I got a bunch of scrapable metal on a job right now and my goosenecks are 26' and 32' so it would be a pain to get up in this driveway and I would have to build sides to keep everything on the trailer. I also have some landscaping friends that I do skid work for from time to time clearing brush or hauling mulch. But bottom line is that I needed a bumper pull to haul the skid in the winter and I already have 2 flatbed trailer so it wouldn't make much sense to buy a 3rd of the same variety.
I've haven't doubled up like that but I like the look. I have done some 3 plys though, the top and bottom are mitered and glued to a middle piece, and a double 45 pencil is glued in the middle.
Nice looking trailer Shawn!
