How can i shorten my wheel base?

Yeah I've noticed the kingpin locations vary greatly mainly like you said with the 20's I'm not concerned since the gap with a 20 is nearly impossible to get rid of but most of what i pull are 40ft cans rarely a 45ft, i also noticed the kingpin locations on the 40's vary but not allot maybe 2 to 3 inches at the most.

The way the truck is set up right now is perfect for every chassis given the sliding 5th wheel travel is long i just don't like the long gap with the 40's. I do switch chassis allot but most of them have almost the same kingpin locations, and yes fuel economy is the reason why i want to shorten the gap

I also thought about one of those nose cones they put on the front of trailers when i get out of pulling cans and buy a trailer of my own

That's true i guess it wouldn't look so bad if they were the fabricated to go with the sleeper.

On the bridge law i don't think it would really change anything most 20's that are really heavy are pulled on a tri-axle chassis.

I do short hauls mainly around 200 to 440 miles round trip ( compared to OTR ) daily.
