    Yep, my floor is rough, too bad Trailmobile 53’ is as tough as any. Heavy paper spec trailer.Going to upgrade soon. Not worth replacing a floor. Kept my last one too long, floor finally failed, Tophat crossmembers, behind the pin plate,were bowed. A forklift wheel went right through it, loading 4K lb ingots, with a huge forklift, and. 400# Operator, Lol. Trailers used for storage now. Selling it for $1000 to a neighbor soon. All it’s good for now.

    Had that happen once picking up a load of carpet. I wasn't too worried about it except when I was getting my paperwork, they wanted me to sign a release stating I was leaving with my trailer in the same condition as when I arrived. I didn't really want to sign it because it wasn't true and I remember arguing with them about it... but for the life of me, I don't remember how we resolved the issue...
