    Like these, I was thinking your build was a bit closer to theirs, but after looking again at theirs they build sort of a mini step deck and use ramps at the front.

    It certainly made me appreciate a 14k quote lol. After paying 3k a month for nearly a year, 1100 a month is a piece of cake

    I paid 20k with a 12k winch install, twin dual 10k axles, 3 foot extensions and heavy mesh and weigh 500 lbs more than that shipshe. Shipshe would easily quote you another 5k to match my trailer.

    You guys and your ramp extenders, hell just hit the button on the key fob to activate the twin hydraulic trailer jacks, boost the front end up and full speed ahead, don't even have to disconnect. I do recommend chocking the trailer tires first though, when the drive axle gets light, things tend to get exciting during loading, even with the jacks down?

    17k-18k load about 36k gross. Destroyed my MPG and the chevy was a huge pain to deal with but paid well and brought me home.
    Monday I get to try to fit 59 ft of cars on a 56 foot trailer lol. If they i can get enough overhang and it will fit its a $4 a mile load.

    More like 7 but I had a lot of hills and traffic lights cause I was avoiding tolls going to King of Prussia PA.
    Still spent less on fuel than I would have on tolls.

    Looking good!! :thumbup:

    That's cutting it close there. Don't you axle out at about 36k now.? :p

    Just messing with ya, it's called skilled loading & knowing your equipment.. :cool:

    Post the pic when you get all 59' of cars on there. I'd like too see if you don't mind. Stay safe Hand..
