Our 18' 7000lb trailer came with a 1" oak deck. It lasted about 7 years. Replaced it with 5/4x6" Pressure treated about 4 or 5 yrs ago. Our trailer has a 2" plate across the front and diamond plate over the wheels which the deck boards slide under, the distance between the plates and the cross supports is only large enough for 5/4 lumber (not sure if yours has this too). We've maxed out the trailer with a combination of tractors and the pine has been fine. Most trailer companies I've seen use 2 by lumber on 10,000 trailers up, you didn't say what yours is rated at.
