Where is your evidence that they're better educated? If it's that they flip less, that's flawed for the reasons stated above. They could flip less because they're different trailers, not because those who pull them are better educated. There also might be fewer of them on the road, and on average pulled for shorter distances.
Of all the people towing trailers, one could logically assume that those with a CDL are the best educated. They still flip. Not every flipped trailer is the result of a poorly educated owner/operator.
I've yet to see a news story about a flip involving a minivan though. :)
Live stock trailers are generally smaller. I would also agree the drivers are generally more experienced.
They are using dedicated work trucks and are not trying to get by with a smaller truck that is also used as a daily driver.
While they may not hold CDL's they are a business operation with the resources and financial backing to do things right.
