    50'x102 IMO. But a 48x102 would be just fine. I hardly ever see much good paying freight that requires a 53' flat. Their just heavier,weaker and more expensive.

    Some guys get by with 45's but with stuff like lumber it will have to hang over the rear.

    If you're gonna run with a box, 53' reefer. Gives you more options on freight.
