    Military rates are up and down, if you are just hauling little things most is low ball flat loads. If you get into the larger and heavy hauls rates are not bad and can be pretty good at times, all about having the correct equipment, the right place and the right time.

    I had a pretty captive market when I hauled though.

    I was put on military orders and got paid per diem and my guard pay to do it. 6 weeks in the early summer hauling stuff to camp, 6 weeks fall to haul it back to the units.

    #### slow worthless 74 Dorf 9000 with a fixed gooseneck.

    Nice looking trailer but have no experience with them to be honest, the weight is not bad for two axles either. I wonder what the tag will ad to a two axle?

    Answered my own question on the third axle, just less than 3 thousand pounds more.
