Trailers are cheap. I own a 1/2 ton truck, with a 3.5 ton trailer. Heck, if you don't want to buy, you can rent a tandem axle aluminum trailer from U-Haul for less than $40 per day, with insurance included.I understand all that but I'm not going to own a 2500 or larger truck to haul pellets home 5 miles 3 or 4 times a year. I'm just pointing out that there are some products that work to reduce the stress overall on the truck.
Like @TommyTally, I'd worry about liability, if I were to get in an accident on the way home with an overloaded truck. There's a 99% chance I have more to lose, financially speaking, than the person I hit.
