Step or flat?

As you know Cluck, my WS is not light at all, and with the Revolution 52 i was pulling, I could still put 51,500# on the trailer and be at 80k pounds gross.

 

Ha! I can do 45,500lbs tops

 

Ive got 2 brand new ritz hooked to 1 96 classic and 2 00 classic. all duals have aluminum outters and steel inners, My empty weight on both was 19500 lbs. so i can still do 51,000 might have to run 3/4 tanks but no biggy there. however most coils i haul are 43,000 or less.


PS both trailers are 13 big bubbas

 

one reg says 17,500 thats the 2000 the 96 says 19500. real world its around 17500 to 18000 depending what you got

 

I'd go with a flat, I see five times more flat loads than steps

I took a load a few weeks back that was 30ft long oversize load when I pulled in with my step the guy said we don't load trailers like that, WTF I have been to lots of shippers and said they wouldn't load me. I can't tell you that last time I have loaded on my levelers most shippers say they are not safe

 

It was an all alumnium 48' trailer. Empty weight was around 8,400#
