    the truck in the well was a double frame factory 3 axle. empty weight with trailer was a whopping 45k!
    new truck is single frame 3 ft shorter wheel base and the trailer with no flip, so as you say also it will be close....he just got home and moved gear over, so we will see a scale ticket hopefully this week.

    the biggest problem but also the best thing about the trailer is the well..34' well non-stretch. so we get alot of stretch paying loads. But all that steel makes it heavier set up.

    I did not realize that the well was that long, so the trailer is a 53' then.

    My last truck, W900, 18spd, 270 WB with a 48' DD RGN was 37,000 full of fuel.

    This company had 14 of these 740's going out at the same time, We have 3 lowboys so I grabbed this shot when we got to the job site. It looked crazy going down the highway. fleet_3dumptrucks.jpg
