    When I first weighed it was 10,840 with all steel wheels that's before I put anything in it I can scale 50,000lbs on the trailer legally

    ok. My truck scales 21500. Need a lighter trailer, such as Revolution H, 9200 pounds, to do at least 48 k loads, if I have to.

    Yeah, but the good thing is that I haven't hauled a load over 40k in a LONG time. The OS load I'm picking up is only 7,000 and the one after that is going to be 6,000.

    I'm going to see how the SD works out, but a Revolution H flatbed may be my choice as well. I might go with a 53' just for the added room. That 5' extra can always squeeze a LTL and pay for the entire trips fuel ;)
