[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 901957, member: 8829"] you just answered your question why have a 40ft trailer when it is only half loaded if you are using it to haul hay or cows a 24ft gooseneck will haul 10-12 1200lb cows comfortably a forty ft trailer will weigh alot more and you can haul less the load because of the extra weight of the trailer and even if you can haul the same amount your pulling around a 1/2 empty trailer same with flatbeds if you can only legally haul 16k when hauling hay why do you need a 30-40ft trailer when you can haul that amount with a 24ft just as easily most guys OVERLOAD 1 ton trucks with big trailers and big loads I am as guilty as the next guy if trailer has room for it load it if you can't haul a full load then you DON'T need a trailer that big plus I would rather back the semi or a single axle semi under a 48 or 52ft trailer and haul full load [/QUOTE]
