    Take your pic; Great Dane, Utility, Wabash..there are many and each brings its own to the table. Some are heavier than others while others can be custom tailored more for the loads you are carrying. I personally love Great Dane even if it is heavier than most but they are built to last.

    Buy an old well built heavy trailer in good shape. fix it up a little so it looks decent. make a bs registration to show auto parts shippers. i hauled a lot of auto parts with my 1993 fruehauf van. if it looks good they wont ever look for a spec plate
