<p>[QUOTE="PBEtrucking, post: 12383872, member: 342811"]AR all the way, I agree with that, no mild steel here. And if I was near 36,000 all in I'd be ecstatic. Even at 39,000 I guess wouldn't be Terrible because with a tri axle trailer I can permit for 107,000 in NY and thats still 34 tons of legal payload so it would still be a hireable combo for other jobs if the need arises. I'd love to hear from someone with an old steel trailer on real weights, but it seems alot of the guys running them are using them on their own jobs for stump or concrete debris removal so they aren't really passing through any scales. Did spot a Borco all steel trailer near me on single point spring ride, seemed like a pretty tough custom trailer for this type of work. Only downside is it was a tandem, but at 30' there is enough frame to put a drop axle on and I may have an old tandem wheeled straight drop axle to put on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
