Those trailers are loaded in a pit. Low pro steps will high center in and out. It can be done, but the trailer frame gets dragged over the hump...

The heavier I load it, the lighter it gets. I've had scale tickets with 10,300 on the steer. I decided to go with a 24" setting.
Kind of in the market for a new flatbed. I'm used to pulling a 48 step with a 13" kingpin set way behind center of axles due to an 8' upper deck....
