I'm surprised at the brake line pinching problem. That should have been caught during pre registration inspections. Very strange. Thanks for posting.

Good plan to do your youtubing while gone! It is always awesome to have quality time with the family when you are home. I really like that aux fuel tank on the trailer!! Hats off to Sandcrest for doing that, as well as the other upgrades.Are you able to tell how much your trailer was, as it was set up like those options? Great video, as always!! Thank you for the trailer review!! Safe driving!

Poor QC, disappointing to be honest, I'm sure it cost a pretty penny. I also think all trailer manufacturers will have small things like this

Man I was just in south bend sitting in the motel 6 parking lot. We could of had lunch lol. Anyway really like the channel. And after your talking about sandcrest I would buy a trailer from them. And load trail for a professional factory built trailer. Does some skimpy things with there builds. But all and all I’m still a fan of the load trail. Love all the extras on your trailer. I’m undecided about the deck above the neck. Curious what you decided about that. Be safe blessings

@roadtriptinytrucker7829 4 жыл бұрын
I actually checked that. I have one trailer without them and it's no better. The centramatic is probably less than 1/32" think. It's very thin. You cant even notice a difference in stud length between the trailer with and without centramatics.

I didn’t see an air dryer. Is there a port to pour alcohol into the high end of the system so water can be evacuated before it becomes a problem in the winter? If not. You might want to have them install a T off the compressor. It will save you a world of 💩in the long run. Nice trailer & review though. 😉

GM Paul, Enjoyed your video on the trailer brand, Im in the market for a trail myself? I liked how they installed fuel tank for you but while you were walking the trailer I noticed that the weld quality was the worst Ive seen! Weld quailty is very important for load strength and integrity of the trailer. Now with regards to safety issues on the bolt engagement should have plenty of thread with or without your centromatic balancer? They should have made better bracket on the mud flaps? Maybe just poor quality? Or one lazy shop hand in the fabrication of the trailer??? After seeing the break line issue was the breaker for me! I appreciate the pin stripping but they really need to put that money into there CAD design of there trail to meet and beat market standards? I pay for good quality not just service....

Well you are correct about how the truck carries some of the weight, you are off a bit on how trailers have to be rated. You can't rate a trailer higher then the combined rating of all axles. With the wheel nuts the DOT officer would be correct in saying the wheel studs aren't long enough. Sure there is lots of thread engagement but by law you have to have a FULL nut of thread engagement
@roadtriptinytrucker7829
@roadtriptinytrucker7829 2 жыл бұрын
You absolutely CAN rate a trailer higher than the combined rating of the axles. Every one of my 4 stepdecks are rated at 90,000 gvwr, but have 2 23k axles. Every commercial trailer made is rated higher than its axles, because some of the weight is carried on the power units axles.

Also, yes, I agree. Though the stud engagement is ample, it would be a point of contention. The stud lengths were actually fixed by load trail.

@@roadtriptinytrucker7829 Im sure they would but end the end, SC wants the title in their state to generate rev. It would be no point with always getting a new one at 60k. So the workaround is running a trip permit when over 26K until we get our 2nd truck here shortly. The main problem is SC wanting it to be titled in their state smh

Your securement straps are supposed to be inside the rub rail and attached to the trailer frame, not the rub rail. It is called a rub rail, not a securement rail. From the FMCSA web site: Proper Use of Tiedowns The new regulations require each tiedown to be attached and secured in a manner that prevents it from becoming loose, unfastening, opening or releasing while the vehicle is in transit. All tiedowns and other components of a cargo securement system used to secure loads on a trailer equipped with rub rails must be located inboard of the rub rails whenever practicable. Also, edge protection must be used whenever a tiedown would be subject to abrasion or cutting at the point where it touches an article of cargo. The edge protection must resist abrasion, cutting and crushing.

Who puts a brake line in to fail? I would not buy a Loadtrail just for that. That could have killed someone and what are they going to say "Opps, my bad." Are we to inspect brake lines on everything we buy? I guess they think so.
