Helpful Expert Reply:
That is going to depend on the thickness of the floor on your cargo trailer. I attached a link to a page that has all of the self tapping screws you could use for E-tracks. You will want to select the length you need from the filters on the page and the correct length screws would be listed.
There are screws from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches in length like the # TFX250ACQ.
