Dump Trailers in Lafayette
In Lafayette a dump trailer is a roofer's trailer first: the tear-off crews working the subdivisions off Kaliste Saloom and the older roofs north of Cameron Street fill a 14K bed twice a day, and the landscapers and pool builders in Youngsville and Broussard run the same trailer for dirt, gravel and demo. Add a storm season and every homeowner with a chainsaw wants one too. Because our lot is in town, you can look at the actual unit, run the hoist, and tow it home the same afternoon.
A dump trailer is the one piece of equipment that pays for itself fastest. Roofing tear-offs, demo debris, dirt and gravel runs, storm cleanup, hauling a mini-excavator to the next lot: every one of those jobs costs you a dumpster rental or a dump-truck fee until you own the trailer that does it.
The sizes that matter: a 12 or 14 ft tandem-axle dump at 14,000 lb GVWR handles most homeowner and light-contractor work and tows fine behind a three-quarter-ton truck. Step up to a 16 ft deck when you are moving equipment along with material, and to a gooseneck dump when the loads get serious. Things to look at on the lot: the hydraulic setup (scissor or telescopic; ask us which one is on the unit you are looking at and what it is rated to lift), a real tarp kit so you are legal on the interstate, rear ramps that store under the bed for the skid steer, a spare tire mount, and a battery charge line from the truck so the pump never dies mid-job.
We sell Load Trail and Falcon dumps: Load Trail for the heavy Dexter-axle tandem and gooseneck packages, Falcon for a solid tandem dump that comes in easier on the wallet.

Dump Trailers in Lafayette
Lafayette is the hub of Acadiana and the crossroads of I-10, I-49 and US-90, which is why so many trailers in this town earn a living: oilfield-service crews running tool trailers out of the yards along the Thruway and Ambassador Caffery, contractors and landscapers working the new subdivisions south of town, and families hauling side-by-sides to the camp or a boiler to the Cajun Field tailgate. Festival International and Festivals Acadiens keep a whole fleet of food trailers busy every spring and fall. Our lot is at 2601 SE Evangeline Thruway, about five minutes from downtown, the Oil Center or the University; hours are Mon-Fri 8-5 and Saturday 8-12.

Questions
For most homeowner and light-contractor work a 12 to 14 ft, 14,000 lb GVWR tandem dump is the sweet spot: it takes a full load of shingles, dirt or gravel and still tows behind a three-quarter-ton truck. Hauling a skid steer or mini-excavator along with material? Step to 16 ft. Moving loads every day? Look at a gooseneck dump.
A 14K tandem dump loaded to its GVWR wants a three-quarter-ton (F-250 / 2500) or one-ton truck with a weight-distributing hitch and a brake controller. A half-ton can pull a 10K dump empty or lightly loaded, but check the GCWR on your door sticker first. Not sure? Run our free towing check on the site or call 337-504-3820 and read us the sticker.
GVWR is the trailer plus everything in it, so payload is GVWR minus the trailer's empty weight, and empty weights vary by model: as a rough guide a 10K dump carries around 6,500 lb, a 14K around 10,000 lb, and a 16K around 11,500 lb, and the listing shows the exact numbers for each unit. Dirt and gravel are heavier than they look (a heaping 14 ft bed of gravel is over 14,000 lb on its own), so most buyers who haul material end up glad they bought the 14K.
Load Trail and Falcon. Load Trail is the heavy-duty tandem and gooseneck line with Dexter axles and a powder-coat finish; Falcon is a solid tandem dump at an easier price. Both come with hydraulics, a tarp kit and ramps on most models.
Yes. Financing & rent-to-own available on every dump trailer we sell: bank financing, fast decisions through our lender network, and rent-to-own programs. Call 337-504-3820 or text 337-279-2620 and we will tell you which program fits.
Yes, and you should. Our lot is at 2601 SE Evangeline Thruway in Lafayette, open Mon-Fri 8-5 and Saturday 8-12. Cycle the hoist, check the gate and the tarp kit, and hook it to your own truck if you want to feel the tongue weight.
