### Why does linear footage matter in the trailer?

 Linear footage is used to measure your loading space in the trailer, which impacts your price. A linear foot is a foot (12 inches) in length. Keep in mind that for each foot in length, you have the full width (8 feet) and height (9 feet) of trailer space for loading.
