    I can't get a straight answer on the inside width of the trailers they want. Ive tried calling them and asking around. Just listed as 53'x102" plate trailer required. Short of booking a load and seeing if I get rejected, anyone know for sure?

    I've done quite a few Ball loads over the years. Light loads jammed back to the doors with empty cans, usually for beer or soft drinks.
    Just smooth walls required. Clean your trailer well before you go in.

    The way I've seen em stacked they don't have lids but are pretty tightly stacked with cardboard separations to keep them from tipping. Still, it's a little scary looking.

    You want to find a dry van trailer with an interior width of 102? Oh that’s right, they don’t exist. Try reading a little bit better, thanks for the non help.

    Plate trailer is a dry van. I’ve never heard of any other type of trailer with that spec.

    I have picked up here many different times with many different trailers.

    Basically, if you have smooth composite wall trailer you are fine. Wood walls you will be rejected.
