    Unless you want a very tall trailer it will never make that cubic yardage

    For that yardage you'll need a 39' long x 96" wide x 66" tall = 60.9 cubic yards in a traditional square Genisis trailer

    39' long x 102" x 60" tall = 58.98 cubic yards traditional square Genisis trailer

    The hybrid would have to be close to 80 " tall for the cubic yards you need. At that height you might as well pull a walking floor

    That is one ugly trailer....and 'spensive!

    Trying to think what you'd be hauling that needed that kind of volume...DDG?

    It's a long story....

    A walking floor was my first plan. But, things changed with the broker, and I was told I'd need a 60 cu. yd dump trailer.

    The East Genesis Hybrid seems to have great reviews being that it's "the best of both worlds."

    Beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder.

    I don't think they're very expensive. Seen 'em on truckpaper.com for not much more $ than a standard MAC half-round frameless....

    Or in the eye of the beer-holder...

    Just sayin...any new aluminum dump is pricey. I don't really have a year-round use for one though...

    Regardless of whatever brand trailer you buy, make sure it's a spread opposed to closed tandems. What will you be hauling? More than likely the trailer you need doesn't literally have to have a 60yd capacity as you can load to bow height or over depending on your tarp.

    Hope not, demo and aluminum don't mix. I'm guessing mulch and or grain/food grade products.

    I've hauled trash with a walking floor before. The state shut down our county landfill and the company I worked for got the contract to haul it to the next county. I did it for 3 weeks then they reopened the landfill. There the county was sitting on two brand new walking floor trailers. Someone got a good buy.

    My guess would be mulch because it's lighter.
