here is another use for my gooseneck, I was going to my woodlot to cut firewood,I went to hook up to my dump trailer,, oops it had 2 flats.{one had a slow leak, and the other I found out had a hole in the rim!!} I had a few guys meeting me at the lot,, so me and my son threw this together in 20 minutes,,

here it is loaded,, just a little more than 5 cord of wood..

Goosenecks are more stable because they are mounted on top of the axle instead of many feet behind it on a hitch. Makes a big difference. Goosenecks are preferred for larger loads for that reason. Each truck has to be evaluated for it's limitations. But any gooseneck will have better stability than a rear hitch trailer.

Looks like quite a load of hardwood! Wish I had a gooseneck flatdeck of my own. How does the shortbox tow with load - tail wagging the dog a bit?

I never had a problem with the way it handles, and I have put alot of miles on it with various loads,,

this is pushing the envelope, proabably wont do it again,, it was only a 4 mile haul,, but I knew it was there ,, my trucking experience said this is limited out,,

Jason, I have pretty much the same set up 05 F350 Crew Cab with 6.5' box and a 20' gooseneck with a 5' tail. Regularly haul two 4k - 4.5k tractors on it. Seems to pull and handle it fine.
