walking floor vs dump trailers

I used to pull walking floor trailer and empty at the landfill. Have never pulled a dump trailer.

The landfill is pretty much a big hole that's been filled in with compacted garbage, then covered with dirt on a pretty regular basis. That results in a pretty soft surface, especially with just a little bit of rain. If it were me, I'd be scared to use a dump trailer on something that was not more compact.

Your situation could be different than what I was seeing, but I can tell you that it's a pretty rough environment for a truck. I'd pull for a large company who could do the repairs and maintenance, but would never subject my own truck to those conditions.

The upside is that pulling garbage is awesome. You never have to worry about damaging the load, people don't want to tailgate you as much, and DOT is not nearly as willing to crawl up under your trailer.

Can a walking floor trailer be put on the the tipper?
Will the walking floor be damaged if put on a tipper??
