    I am looking for the end dump and here is what I'm looking at.
    40ft Mac half Round
    39ft East Genesis
    39ft Travis Wave

    I'm having a hard time getting true empty weights and I'm trying to gross 80,000lbs. So far my best option is looking like the MAC but I'm worried about the weld down the center and cracking. I will be hauling sand and gravel.

    Manufacturers will be able to give you empty weights, if needed tell them to loan you a used trailer to go scale with.

    I preferred the Wave, but cant guess your empty weight without specs.
    Similar setup at my prior company with a 2014 Mack(with a total of 150gal fuel and the wet kit) and a Wave had a tare weight of 27550.

    Is that on a 39ft frameless Wave? The dealer told me 11,100 empty and then I see one on truckpaper say 12,500

    Depends on how it is spec'd, ours were aluminum wheels and a manual tarp. The power tarps probably add a couple hundred pounds, choice of tarp thickness is worth another 75lbs etc.
