    Do not put the horse before the cart.

    Get the work first. Then get the right tools for the work you have.

    I alwys preferred to haul water in end dumps. It keeps the sloshing down.

    I actually prefer belly dumps, that way I can spread the water out evenly.

    Really you want to get a trailer that will give you more then one option for freight to haul. I pull a 48' curtain side flatbed. I can haul not only flatbed freight but also dryvan freight
