    I've got 2 150 gallons.... 34K... Well of course with all that stuff you got in the truck. Plus you got that big ol' fancy headache rack & half fenders....

    I'll trade ya Pete's.... I like the color purple.

    I still haven't gone home to get my stuff... I'm still running with everything I had in Louisville.

    I'm at 81' with my 48' stepdeck trailer, 95' with UPS pups. But only 37' bobtail.
    Just a little truck

    What sort of equipment do you usually haul?

    Construction equipment, farm tractors, stuff like that I'd say.

    every combination is going to have a different length. my tanker trailer and T880 day cab will be allot shorter then a 53' and a W900. my truck and trailer will be longer then a single axle day cab and a pup trailer. it all depends and every rig will be different, unless its the same make/model truck with the same type of trailer.

    With wheelbase, fith wheel placement, kingpin depth, trailer length every truck is different.

    This usually. Not too heavy, about 49k pounds. Gross around 90k. We have a komatsu d39 dozer I move from job to job when it's not in the shop. I work for a city so the majority of my driving is on city streets with the occasional couple mile trip down I10 or I65.
