    Looking to buy my first flatbed and wanted to get some input on what you guys/gals prefer. Ive been hauling heavy for the last 7 years (5 and 6 axle) not sure if i should make the switch to a tandem 10' to 1 spread. Im interested in heading south west into the Warmer states so im not to sure on restrictions for number of axles im allowed to run in every state.

    What would be more versatile and more money in the long run?

    Go for an airride spread.Make sure you can lift either axle if the need arises. You'll be able to put extra weight on your trailer tandems and save wear and tear on your rubber.
