Best Dump Trailer Options for Joplin, MO

1. MAXX-D D6B6010 (5' x 10', 9,990 lb GVWR)

The smallest work-rated dump unit on the lot is a 2027 build carrying 7,255 lbs on dual 5.2K axles, with a telescopic hoist, 18" solid sides, and a side-swing rear multi-function gate that lets you unload against a fence line or into a bin without swinging a full-width barn door. 

A 5" channel wrap tongue, heavy-duty steel wheels and double-broke diamond plate fenders finish the frame, and a tarp kit with ramps comes fitted for hauling walk-behind equipment out to the job.

Landscape crews running half-ton and light three-quarter-ton tow vehicles buy this size for mulch, sod, or green waste, though a fully loaded 9,990 lb GVWR trailer sits at or above the rating of many half-ton configurations, so check your truck's door-jamb figures first. It carries a listed retail of $9,495 and currently sells at $7,998 under stock number 145111.

The MAXX-D D6B6010 handles mulch, sod, and green waste on lighter tow vehicles, priced at $7,998 with tarp kit and ramps.

2. Load Trail DE7212 (6' x 12', 9,990 lb GVWR)

Two extra feet of deck at the same 9,990 lb rating gives crews more floor for bulky, lower-density material, which suits rental fleets, light demolition work, and cleanup contracts where volume fills the box before weight does. 

The build runs 18" dump sides with an 18" two-way gate and a 3" x 24" cylinder package on dual 5.2K axles, with a top-mount tarp kit, slide-in ramps, and black wheels included.

The two-way gate matters on this unit, since it swings for bulk dumping and chains for spreading gravel along a drive without a second pass. Listed retail is $10,495, and the current price is $7,488 on stock number 384501, making it the lowest-priced new dump trailer in stock and $3,007 below retail.

The Load Trail DE7212 adds two feet of deck at 9,990 lb GVWR, priced at $7,488 with $3,007 in savings.

3. MAXX-D DKB8314 (14' x 83", 14,000 lb GVWR)

This is the size most general contractors settle on, carrying 9,450 lbs on dual 7K axles behind a 5x16 industrial scissor hoist. The 18" steel sides with 6" board extensions give 24" of total side height, raising capacity for lighter fill without pushing the trailer over rating, and the split spreader gate handles both a straight dump and a controlled spread along a trench line or driveway edge.

Build quality sits above the entry tier, with a heavy-duty 10-gauge steel floor that takes repeated bucket loading and an I-beam tongue with an integrated toolbox that keeps chains, binders, and a spare handle off the deck. Retail is listed at $11,995, with the unit currently priced at $9,488 on stock number 140700.

The MAXX-D DKB8314 carries 9,450 lbs on dual 7K axles with a split spreader gate and 24" sides.

4. Texas Pride DT (7' x 14' x 3', 16,000 lb GVWR)

A 12,000 lb payload on dual 8K axles moves this trailer into rock, dirt, concrete rubble, and wet aggregate work that would over-rate a 14,000 lb unit. The 3' tall 3/16" steel sides are heavier gauge than most units at this price.

The multi-stage telescopic cylinder with an electric-over-hydraulic pump pushes from the front of the body for more dumping leverage, which matters when clay or wet sand refuses to release.

Support equipment is specified for daily use, including a Group 24 deep cycle marine battery, all-wheel electric brakes, an emergency break-away kit, and safety chains, with a hydraulic jack on this particular build. Retail is $12,995, and the current price is $10,998 under stock number 087896.

The Texas Pride DT handles rock, concrete rubble, and wet aggregate with 12,000 lb payload capacity, now $10,998.

5. MAXX-D DJB8314H (83" x 14', 17,500 lb GVWR)

Haulers who load with a skid steer bucket several times a day buy at this rating, since the 11,365 lb payload on dual 8K axles covers a full box of wet sand or crushed rock inside the legal limit. 

The 6x20 industrial scissor hoist is the heaviest scissor setup in the lineup, and the 3' solid 10-gauge steel sides paired with a 7-gauge floor absorb drop loading that would dent lighter sheet over a season.

Working details separate it from the 14,000 lb builds, with rear support stands to steady the frame at full lift, a split spreader gate for material control, and an I-beam tongue with integrated toolbox. Listed retail is $16,995 against a current price of $14,488 on stock number 141688.

The MAXX-D DJB8314H handles 11,365 lb payloads with a 6x20 scissor hoist, 10-gauge sides, and 7-gauge floor.

6. Diamond C LPT210 (16' x 82", 23,000 lb GVWR)

The heaviest bumper-pull dump in stock carries 16,470 lbs on dual 10K axles, which puts it in fleet and site-contractor service rather than owner-operator duty. 

Its low-profile telescopic hoist keeps deck height down for easier loading despite the capacity, and integrated commercial ABS anti-lock brakes come standard, which few trailers at this weight class include from the factory.

The 32" high steel sides run with board brackets and side boards for hauling lighter material at volume, and a three-way dump gate combo covers bulk dumping, spreading, and barn-door unloading on the same unit. Retail is listed at $29,995, with the trailer currently priced at $25,998 under stock number 316140.

The Diamond C LPT210 carries 16,470 pounds on dual 10K axles with commercial ABS brakes and a three-way dump gate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What tow vehicle do I need for a 14,000 lb GVWR dump trailer?

Loaded trailer weight sets the requirement. A fully loaded 14,000 lb GVWR unit generally calls for a three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck with a sufficient gross combined weight rating. Before purchase, check your truck's towing and GCWR ratings in the owner's manual or towing guide against the trailer GVWR. 

How many cubic yards does a 14 ft dump trailer hold?

An 83" wide by 14 ft body with 24" sides holds close to seven cubic yards struck level. Denser materials such as wet sand or crushed rock reach the payload ceiling long before the box fills, so volume capacity is only a useful measure for lighter loads like mulch or green waste.

Is a bumper-pull or gooseneck dump trailer better for contractor work?

Bumper-pull units tow behind a receiver hitch, and the heaviest in this lineup is rated at 23,000 lbs GVWR, which covers most contractor loads. Goosenecks carry more weight with better stability at highway speed but require a bed-mounted hitch and a heavier truck, so the choice usually follows the tow vehicle you already run. 

Do I need a CDL to tow a dump trailer in Missouri?

Licensing depends on the combined weight rating of your truck and trailer, and non-commercial use is treated differently from commercial hauling. The line is 26,001 lbs gross combined weight rating with a towed unit over 10,000 lbs, which a 14,000 lb trailer behind a three-quarter-ton truck usually stays under, and a 17,500 lb or 23,000 lb unit often does not. Confirm your specific combination with the Missouri Department of Revenue.
