Hence my user name, I've hauled quite a few trailers. I used to haul them on a regular basis out of southern Missouri. Don't have any pictures of the scale tickets, but the picture with the gooseneck and 8 trailers scaled out around 32k #'s.

This was just a recent vehicle I moved from out of state into Michigan for a guy.

This was a load I got last fall moved about 3 loads of this slab wood about 150 miles for around 3/3.50 a loaded mile

Here I moved two separate loads of old farm equipment about 200 miles for a farm.

This is a disassembled 40x50 barn someone wanted moved from southern to northern Michigan.

A horse trailer I moved for a local trailer company.

Veggie oil a guy bought and needed moved.

Same guy with the veggie oil had me pick up this car for him from Chicago.

I'm not really a full time "hotshotter" its more or less something I do on the side when a good paying haul arises, so here and there people get in touch with me by word of mouth. I run with all the DOT numbers, rules, and regulation B.S. because of the trailers I haul in from out of state. I enjoy doing it, but the way the fuel prices are right now in my position it's not something I could justify doing as my job.

^That's awesome TrailerHauler, I wish I could get setup hauling stuff like that for money, longest I travel to haul something is 100-150 miles for friends. I've always wanted an excuse to buy a dually. :demon:

These are from back when I had my f250 psd, a buddies cousin asked me to haul a "hobby backhoe" from pittsburgh to Western NY where we live, said it was just a little guy!! well needless to say it wasnt really as small as I thought, truck pulled it fine. But by far was the biggest that ive hauled to date, not necessarily the smartest thing ive ever done, when I was taking off from a stop I could watch the goose flex quite a bit, I dont think ya gotta be head cashier at the walmart to know that I had a bit much weight on the trailer. I used to haul alot of misc cars, equipment, and junk for people, but around here everyone wants it all but they dont want to pay for anything so its hard to justify the time or energy to deal with it. So now i pretty much just haul my pro truck to and from races and daily drive my dually.

does it have to be hotshot or just anything we've had on a trailer?

wow sgleshot thats alot of weight for a dual axle singe rearwheel gooseneck. You should upgrade to a dual axle dual wheel gooseneck.
And as far as this forum being only for hotshot towing, that would be a no, it's pretty much open to hotshot towing or anything that you have towed that you would consider stupid heavy hahahaha. You know the stuff the dodge and chevy guys would never try towing hahahah
