These have over 2100 cubic feet of capacity and are light enough to haul a load. We haul quite a few lighter products and can usually get up to gross weight with them.

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. 43 foot long... 102 wide... 84 tall... with onboard weight gauge for truck and trailer. There won't be any product that you can't get a full load on. I haul alot of light product (ie. Wheat midds, rice hulls, etc) and I've got this setup and can always get a full legal load on.. if you don't care for the 84 inch tall then it needs to be at least a 78 inch tall.. don't buy anything smaller than a 78 inch..

We prefer the 43' over the 42' because of the extra big door openings which make a difference with ddgs, plus a little extra space. My preferred trailer is 43x102x84 with all aluminum sub frame and parts where you can with super singles and disc brakes. For a trailer this big, the empty weight is right at 9,000#. We can be almost full with volume and be a full load on weight with wheat midds.
