    I have been looking at them, I really like the design, I was wondering if any of you have experience with them?

    What size are you looking at?
    I know a few of their trailers, tri-double drop and 16 wheeler. Their owners seem happy with them. I talked to a guy in Reno a few weeks back with a 48 wheeler, he hadn't been pulling it long, but so far he only had little issues. But with big trailers I think we all do...the next one will always be better...

    I am looking at a couple of the 16 wheelers, and a 12 wheeler.

    The 16 is pretty cool, just not sure I need that many tires...

    I own a Murray 16 tire myself and love it. Depends on where you live though. In CA,AZ,NV,and UT they will let you have 60k lbs on the trailer.
    NM and TX will give you 58k lbs.Everywhere else will only give you 40k. My trailer weighs 15k lbs and I can hop most equipment over the back

    I live in MT, I really wish the other states would wise up.

    I have been looking at their 8 and 12 tire trailers, they are pretty nice too.

    Depending on the size of loads that you move, the interstate is the best pound for pound trailer. Thats the tri-axle 12 tire. Its weighs in at about 16,000lbs. Again you can hop most anything over the back and I recomend 17.5 tire set up
