It has a gate that we have to weld on but that is not a big deal. It has 1 foot sides that we are coming back to get turned into angle iron top but will be 4 foot sides like a landscape trailer. this will be for both Safety and security of the loads. Tires are brand new.
It was for both quality and also potential quantity of gaining new business because people respond better to clean things. My f250 I only bought really because its a dark blue with tint and its got Black rims with ford silver center caps so it looks like a color scheme or setup a business might use. When I throw the magnet on there next week on both sides of the doors and back windows there will be no denying that we have a REALLY clean looking truck and a solid clean looking trailer. So I get to look like I know what I am doing even though most of my life I have been utterly clue less haha! But image and perception is sometimes reality and when trying to attract new business in expensive neighborhoods perception is REALLY reality.
thats why
You have got the right idea. However, one small suggestion I would make, is to get about 2 maybe 3 inch thick piece of steel and weld it on top of your wood floor of the trailer. Makes clean ups easier, and don't have to worry about damaging the wood to much. Just my .02 as I am about to replace the wood in mine and then do this.
