Re: checking weld quality...

Then the drivers get all up in arms when the RCMP or OPP or whoever the police and ministry of transport are int hat province run a blitz and pull off all the rusting hulks of trailers and trucks.

Some of those drivers are living too close to the edge to do full maintanance. As much as i dont like people going out of work i'd love to see heavier use of rail transport

BUt the same rules apply in ontario

In Western Canada logging truck trailers are welded on regularly. There

inspector. The legal onus is on the truck owner and the company that does
the repair or build. Pretty scary eh??
What I am trying to say is if you use a reasonable amount of concerned
care as you have indicated you will build a safe trailer. If you are
concerned about a critical corner add a gusset. Lastly regularly inspect
any trailer or welding structure that you are using. Welds rarely snap
apart. There will be cracks and tearing of a connection before the unit
breaks apart.
Paying a few bucks for a set of plans never hurt also though I have seen
a wide range in quality of trailer plans.
