Hello all. Just curious about enclosed Car trailer frames. I have seen both I-Beam frames and Tube frames for enclosed car haulers? Is one better than the other for strength and durability. Hallmark, USA Cargo, Colony all use a tube frame. The Interstate ones I've seen use I-Beam. There are other brands that I can't recall that also use I-Beam frames. Is there a major difference between the two?
 
An employer had two flat deck trailers with tube frames, they both rusted out from the inside due to trapped moisture. Channel or I-beam would have been much better.
