    Yeah, residential cars are mostly via Carvana or that type of deal, but you have to agree to drop the car at their doorstep so to speak. With that said I also do other stuff like small equipment such as tractors, skid steers or mini excavators, and oddly enough I've taken some of them into so very tight places.

    I actually took an antique bulldozer from a dead-end road on a steep hill in Grass Valley Cali to Tennese on top of a mountain on a dead-end road.. It was interesting to say the least. Also, I just like the size of a hotshot setup because it's much more friendly to drive than going back to Semis. I'd say a single axle something like that one I posted is probably as big as I'd want to go. Otherwise might as well just go back to driving semis with a full semi trailer.

    Anyway, my thought was, that if I did go this route would be to run a short single axle with one of those single axle air trailers. I think take3 makes them. The only reason I'd even want to go that route is that I'd rather just keep one truck and not have to sell it every 1.5 years.. My 5500 is already getting to the miles that I feel I need to sell it soon and I haven't even had it a year and a half. Granted it's been a great truck but I just don't like the idea of keeping a newer truck long-term and I honestly don't want to buy a new one every other year although maybe that's the smart thing, I dunno.

    Yeah I’d definitely have a spare on hand if I went to 19.5’s. I would find a 3.90 rear end to go with them to keep my mpg’s

    I saw the auction listing but they didn't have a price on it.. Crazy isn't it? Certainly a rich guy toy.
