    No worries mine is a 6 car with three 10,000# axels and I never get remotely near 30,000# on my three trailer axels.
    This a picture of my set up.
    It’s not fully loaded but you can see the trailer is of the same design as yours. 311FCB80-4B8B-46E0-B00D-CCB3BA2D68EA.jpeg

    If you want to do the math, 5 cars = 25,000 lbs + trailer weight with about 25% of total transferred to your trucks drive axle.
    I think with 36k rating you can load them however you want and never go over gross.
