Sooner Trailers was founded in 1956 by Francis Cobb. The company didn’t actually build trailers then, but the idea for constructing top quality devices for transporting animals began when someone needed a stock rack and Cobb agreed to build it for them. From these humble beginnings, Sooner Trailers grew under the ownership of the Bernhardt family of Duncan, Oklahoma to build premium quality custom aluminum trailers to meet the needs of the most discriminating and experienced buyer. Over the years, Sooner has continued to grow its range of products to build more than 2000 horse and livestock trailers each year. Sooner trailers are distributed across the United States via approximately 80 dealers located in 37 states and internationally via its dealerships located in 5 provinces of Canada.

Why Trailers Constructed of Aluminum?
In 1983, Sooner was one of the first to begin building aluminum trailers. Why Aluminum? Aluminum trailers have become the trailers of choice for discriminating horse and livestock people. They are 30-40% lighter than a steel trailer and easier to pull which means improved gas mileage and less wear and tear on a vehicle. In addition, the aluminum used by Sooner Trailer engineers is pound for pound five times stronger than steel. Aluminum is corrosion resistant, so it is far less susceptible to deterioration due to weather conditions. In addition, they look great and will continue to look new long after steel trailers have rusted through. Aluminum trailers are however, more expensive to build. Much of the aluminum comes in the form of extrusions, and each extrusion has to be blueprinted, so it requires a great deal of engineering. Sooner blueprints all its extrusions, and then an aluminum company mixes the alloys and extrudes it. These alloys have a wide variety of metals that provide the structural integrity that Sooner requires.
