    I will be honest with you, a 32' isn't worth my time to load. Especially if you want to keep it moving. Atleast not at this point. I could see it perhaps if you're willing to get into OD freight... we don't deal with that though. I'd recommend upgrading to a 40' minimum. Our best truck's are 48' goosenecks.

    Unless you pull the bed you can't pull a 48 footer legally.
    I seen a 48 footer gooseneck once that thing flexed when you turned a corner. i don't think a 48 foot gooseneck would last long it would twist to fast. I have two 40's and have thought about shortening one to 35-36 foot.

    I don't think you do but I believe if you send a message for him to one of the admin they'll forward it for you.

    I apologize for the way that must have come off to you. I mean to say, to keep a trailer of that size moving, atleast in my opinion, it's going to be very difficult. It can definately be done, you must be willing to carry atleast 20,000 lbs, infact, the more weight you're willing to carry the better off you will be. I know some guys who only want to carry 10,000 lbs, and its awful to load them. That said, one of our best trucks is a 36' who carry's 20k. He does really well.

    I know enough to know it isnt about weight to make money. The most I can legally haul is 15,000# of load.
