West Coast seven axle configurations.

In SF bay area I'm guessing its because all the dilapidated bridges & roads that have diminished capacities, requiring green & bonus green weight limits on all axle groups.

 

Getting to anywhere in Sacramento is always a challenge....

The other thing is running as a 7 axle is gonna suck more than running as a 9 for getting around corners. I know when I run with my jeep and no booster corners are just as bad or worse than running with my entire trailer.

 

Yes. For most part. But you wont have the ability to back into a tough site & load over the back. But, you don't have to climb the neck in the rain on a slope. No excitement there...…….. There is no perfect trailer for all loads.

 

I pulled a 7 axle setup, it was kinda Frankenstein'd together. And I used a freightliner FLD120(Franken-liner) with a Detroit series 60 and a 18 spd. It did a fantastic job. Never got the front end more than 15,500 and the drives were right near 43K it is hard to get a lot of weight forward unless you put a hoe bucket up on the jeep neck.

 

Nope. I used one for years.

 

I still run a loadmaster! All over the place.
