    My question is, is the rub rail rated (with a WLL)?

    Newer trailers are now coming out with a WLL rating such as Reitnouer.

    In the states anchor points don't not have to be rated.

    Unrated and Unmarked Anchor Points

    FMCSAs cargo securement rules do not require rating and marking of anchor points. While the agency encourages manufacturers to rate and mark anchor points, the new rules do not include a requirement for ratings and markings.

    This is correct but most points are rated. A crafty DOT man will look up the ratings for your trailer if he thinks it is an issue.
