For 4%? Probably not. Is that number pretty standard? I was thinking 8% was more common for the increase in percentage for a trailer. At 8% it is well worth it in my opinion. The other factor that you have to keep in mind is that with your own trailer you will be live loading/unloading on every load(no more drop/hooks) if you are at a company which you do drop/hook loads now.

8% or more is all I've ever heard about until this thread. 4% is not worth it.
