    Thanks guys

    Build sheet says 13,297 lbs +/- 3% plus an additional 2,750 for the kit. Not a feather by any means but light enough for 65k# on the deck behind my Volvo without any issues .

    Looks good man. What kind of freight do you pull to need the 3rd axle and the tarp system?

    Thanks!

    I'm up in B.C. so a tridem is pretty much standard here for single long trailer config. Can run just over 102k# like that. I do the same thing m-f every week, outbound is regional distribution for a steel customer of the company I'm leased to, and lumber or whatever else going back. 2 rounders a week totalling 15-30 drops over 2k miles. No time for tarps!

    Dang.

    I like how you can push it all to the upper deck. Wish our Quickdraws were like that...

    From what I've seen, the Wilson, Reitnouer, and Mac drop decks seem to hold up the best. I was just shopping for a 4-8yr old drop, and all other manufacturers just look like crap after 4-5 yrs. I ended up with a 13 Great Dane, only because I got a deal on it, and it shows its age...

    Here she is!! Picking it up yesterday was a lot of fun. Never got out of bed at 3am so fast in my life!

    Before anyone gives me a hard time about the wheels on my truck looking like crap, I'm swapping the inner dura brites on the trailer to the outside of the truck this weekend, then clear coating the boxes and headboard :cool:

    Believe you me I was ####ting myself this morning whilst unloading a big bundle of 40ft tube in a farmer's field with a beater old tractor and mini excavator. First one had to be a nail biter haha
