Size Matters

Start by thinking about how size will impact your decision. It should be able to fit all the livestock you need to fit in one trip, which might involve a little math or simply taking a head count of the animals you need to transport and letting the internet help you out with the rest. Remember that livestock should have a little space to themselves to avoid restlessness, so if you’re struggling to find something that will fit every animal in one trip, consider getting a smaller trailer and taking two trips.

You’ll also want to think of size in terms of weight. This will probably impact your tow vehicle more than your trailer. Never attempt to drive a towing unit that’s overloaded, as it presents a major hazard to other drivers. While you’re still shopping around, try to find something that won’t overly restrict you in this way. Check out your tow vehicle’s gross combined weight rating (GCWR), which tells you the maximum amount of weight the entire unit can be before overwhelming the tow vehicle. Once you have this number, find a trailer that won’t present problems for you. Keep in mind, if trying to make it all fit together is becoming a hassle, you might need to reevaluate your tow vehicle.

Safety

Of course, when you’re traveling with a livestock trailer, you’ll want safety to be your priority. It’s why we’ve put such an emphasis on ensuring you’ve got the right sized stock trailer to fit your tow vehicle. An overloaded tow vehicle can easily lose control over the trailer and become a hazard for yourself and other drivers, not to mention the cargo inside the trailer.

You’ll also want to take some time to familiarize yourself with towing the trailer, no matter how much experience you already have. A new trailer comes with new challenges, so spend some time practicing behind the wheel and getting used to the model, both empty and loaded.

On that note, it’s time to stop by Lone Star Trailers to check out some of the livestock trailers available right now. We proudly serve all those from Waco and Temple, Texas, so visit us today and we’ll help you find the right model for you.
