    You gotta have at least 40 feet to get out there in the water homes . Anything less than that is gonna limit your capacity too much

    Could you? Yes, a lot of hotshotters have 18 or 20 foot trailers but the extra 2 axles give them a considerably higher load capacity. Being under CDL you must have a pretty low load capacity. If you are going to pull a trailer you should have a truck with a much shorter wheelbase. You'd be much better off getting a more suitable truck.
