I'm looking at a used 40ft gooseneck trailer, probably 15yrs old that has 3 12" I-beams for the main frame, is this unusual? I've got a new trailer with the triple frame, just never have seen an old one with one. It's pretty cheap and just wondered if this was something to stay away from or...

I haven't, need to do that. I had it hooked on the Topkick the other day and was around 57k for the whole rig. Didn't have any problems but figured it was borderline.

Hay, trees, scrap steel, tractors.

Not having tire trouble, just overloading the axles by 10k on a regular basis. Might just have to look into something else

Crap, I didn't think of that... Is there a place to buy those trailer VIN plates that you can write on with an engraver? Might just have a trooper stamp numbers on it and put my own VIN plate on.

I have a 40ft gooseneck flatbed with 3 I-beam main runners going the whole length and 1/4" plate for a floor. The thing is just heavy. How hard would it be to add a 3rd 12k axle to it? Just welt on some brackets and bolt up? Would having triple duel axles on it cause the bad tire scrubbing...

Made a hitch above the bumper pull at the normal gooseneck height, just below the deck on the truck. Works pretty good. Lol, it's a mighty dachshund in his camo attire.

Wishing this had a powerstroke as I cruise along at 55mph

That trailer is NICE!

Ya, that is a lot of weight, probably too much. Been doing that for years, but first time we've weighed a load of trees. That maroon dually and trailer have over 200k miles of those type of loads. Brakes on the truck/trailer actually stop it pretty good, but with that kinda weight will...

50 white pine, may need to adjust loads some...

Lol, you guys are funny. The loads we pull are probably overloaded and a couple of that Nancy's that work for me are too scared to pull em, but we haul loads that heavy all the time. Never had a problem other than blowing out tires or cracking leaf springs. That maroon pile of junk has...

Cheap Chicom F range tires, I don't have any idea what they are rated for, but don't blow out as often as the E range. Carry 4 spares plus the one in the trailer neck. Got an order of 50 34" ball white pines going out first of next week.

It was one load. 3 across on the bottom row (I wanna say 13 rows front to back) and 2 stacked on top. It was heavy, stopping wasn't too bad, but you could tell something was back there. I made sure to bypass the scales on I70, wasn't sure that they would approve. I did blow out the right...

Pulled this load about 600 miles last week. 30 blue spruce in 32" balls and 30 austrian pines in 34" root balls. HEAVY!
