[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 924047, member: 3162"] I use treated pine and get much more time out of it. Flat bed too. When I change oil, it is mixed with a little diesel and mopped onto the floor of one of the trailers. If it has rained or it the floor is wet, the oil is held back until later. Dad always mopped his trailers with used oil. He had a 5 gallon bucket with a mop dedicated to it. When the wood is dry, it will soak the oil in no time. The stock trailers have rubber matts that have to be pulled before the oil is put down. You may have only had one or two boards that were poor quality to begin with. Trialer manufacturers cut cost in every way. Cheap tires are especially frustrating. First thing I do is haul it to the tire store and take those new junk tires off. My guess is they probably used bargain lumber to compete. [/QUOTE]
