    That’s awesome. I like it a lot except I don’t see how your not going to have issues with the single axle.

    Hey Dorsey, how ya been? We may have issues, but, won't know until we try, just keep in mind that ALL of the weight we added was on the front of the trailer and we did lighten the structure somewhat, also went with aluminum wheels inside and out and moved the oil pump and reservoir up under the front neck. Of course there is enough room to make it a dual tandem without changing the belly length, and I think even if it does work, it will be the absolute farthest that you could push the 5 car/semi platform, in fact, I know it really will need a lighter tractor that I have to really get every pound out of the design, but for right now, I just want to get it on the road!!! But your right, it will be a "weight" and see game! lol

    Headed down to Az last week to grab the new trailer, my lightweight truck is still getting stretched so I took one of the fleet tractors, pickup up this 5 load and headed back home, no overhang on either end and under 13'4 so not bad, I think it will fill a niche for us for all of these small and midsized SUV and crossovers while still being able to flat load all of our big buses, vans and trucks.
