I actually know something about this one...yay! I am a former employee of
the
Load King Trailer Co who makes gooseneck and flatbed trailers for heavy
construction equipment. Back when I was working there, we used keruing for
the
deck wood. We'd get it from a supplier in the Phillipines. The wood
weathers
very well. Here's a good link if you're interested:
