    I know this is off topic a bit, but I can scale 48000 with a 2000 full steel 48x96 great dane trailer. Would a 48x102 all aluminum be 3k lbs lighter?

    . . I don't know what your trailer weighs? I have seen some advertised like the alurtec being 7200 lbs and some older all aluminums aroun 8800 lbs or so.

    Mine is a 2006 Volvo 780
    It's 31760 unloaded but with full tanks of fuel.
    The tractor with all my stuff weighed 18820
    The trailer weighed 12940 That is with Headboard 2 lumber tarps, 15 chains and ratchet binders, 15 straps , dunnage, 2x4 wood v-boards coil racks and 2 boxes ( 1 on each side of the trailer)

    I have since removed the headboard , switched to 1x4 v-boards and removed 3 chains/binders and it weighs in around 31500.
    I'm guessing ( and its only a guess) trailer only would be around 11500 lbs.

    I'd love to get an aluminum trailer with a fast trak or similar rolling tarp system and still be able to scale 48k.
