I would think you can refuse them to look in the trailer without a search warrant but, they can make things really miserable for you. They can hold you and the rig until they get a judge to sign a warrant, or if they don't have probable cause for a warrant , they can pick your rig apart for every little safety violation leading to lost time, tickets, and if your rig is really bad from a safety standpoint, they can park you.
