    Im getting a Full Frame 22 foot end dump trailer this saturday! I know with a Frameless you can get paid more. Im just starting out so im not really familiar with it all yet so sorry if i might ask a stipid question

    My question is.. is it a huge difference in pay ?

    i feel it would be safer and better practice for me getting a Full frame for some time!

    thank you !!

    22'? Is that correct? Don't see many trailers this short. Most dirt/aggregate haulers around here running at least 26-27', or more, dump buckets.

    Are you hauling by the ton? I doubt there is more than 2 or 3000 pounds difference between a frame and frameless.

    The only way it would make a difference is if you're working by the ton.

    The big difference with a full frame is if it turns over is almost guaranteed to take the truck with it

    Yes, however the frameless is just guaranteed to turn over.
