    2 axle...
    The reason I ask is there are a lot of 65K flatbed loads moving between WA, OR, ID for decent rates....basically short/Hvy runs for good $$$.

    Pretty sure you won't be able to do those with a 3 axle truck and 2 axle trailer.

    I'm sure you need a 3-4 axle trailer how can you pull 65k without 3 axles? I mean a day cab would help but still need more axles

    Usually 4 & 4, or B-train occasionally with a 3-axle.
    Everybody up here is getting rich pulling that extra 20k.
    Shhhhhh.....it's a secret, don't tell anyone else.
