    I still need to know if you'll consider hauling an M817 for me. I will get one(or more) eventually. Mead looks to be a possible location. If not, anyone else?

    Would you do a FT Mead to Syracuse NY trip, in the good weather? It's about 400 miles. Think you can haul an M817?

    It seems crazy that guys are getting equipment violations for inside duals being a small(5% I think it was) percentage different from the outer dual air pressure. And yet, someone can get away with towing a load that way over exceeds the hitch connection rating.

    Individual axle load, I had not considered. Now, that's where using MV's would get you quick and easy(as we all feel they are under-rated on the data tag or in the TM).

    So, it would be sensible to register your goose neck, for more than it's max capacity. Here in NY, we register a trailer, for it's maximum load capacity(gets pricey). That's interesting and confusing, on the weight transfered to the truck.

    Who's complaining? We're discussing. I like to educate myself, especially when I might want to do the same thing.

    Wouldn't the trailer (and it's frame) simply be limited by its total capacity rating? If the trailer was rated for 12 tons, thats it. No matter how it's loaded (other than less, if it's impropperly loaded)

    How deep did you dig? Up until now, none of this was about the OP, just about trucks and trailers.

    Do they fine you by % of overload, or by # over?

    Just found the spec for the coupler on that Load Max trailer, 24000lb max.

    2012 F450 Hauling 32,000 lbs. (5 TON)GVWR=44,500

    Is there a GVWR sticker on the trailer? What does it say? I'm only interested in the trailer capacity. I would be towing with a heavier truck yet. I would like to have over 20000 lb load cap. I still don't see how your trailer can be that high. GVWR = load + trailer. Nothing else. GCWR =...

    I'm kinda looking for a new trailer. I just looked for Load Max trailers and I only see an HD gooseneck up to GVWR 22000 lbs. And the trailer weighs about 6000lbs, so max load cap is only about 16000 lbs. Was your custom built? What model is yours? Did you buy new from a dealer(could you tell me...
