    You know for a nice fee LeftLane / Haulhand or myself can help you with all this info you need to be a heavy hauler.
    That or go back and read some of the old posts.
    Seems like every 4 months or so another wanna be thinks they can be a heavy hauler..
    Ok great, nothing wrong with wanting to better you bussiness, but please do not do it for nothing or cheaply.
    Remember short hauls mean a day rate. not mileage rate...

    A bolster and stinger are two different this GS but are actually used in the same place. A bolster is all axles are created together. A stinger is generally a 14' bar (if you will) that you add flip axles to to create the displacement that you need to carry the weight of your load.
    I believe the question you are asking is can you connect your jeep and bolster together? None I have ever seen. Keep in mind that in many states you are only allowed to carry one piece at a time on an oversized trailer. So if you are permitted when empty you aren't allowed in some states to carry both your jeep and bolster. You must haul your jeep and pull you bolster.
    Now the other question you asked- what equipment do you need? I suggest that until you get some time under each piece of trailer equipment you get one piece at a time and learn how to correctly use it before adding another. This will allow you to learn as you grow. It will keep you from tearing up your equipment and from killing some one. It also keeps you from looking like a complete idiot. When getting into heavy haul there are right ways and wrong ways to do things. Take it slow and easy learn before you do something g completely stupid that you will regret the rest of your life. Just my opinion! Good luck
