John, With your semi I'd go with a more 'modest' trailer now and then get a 30' or 36' if you need it later (and use the Kenworth for it). Also, I'd avoid the deck over hitch. One of my customers has a 26' plus deck over the ball. It really wants to rock side to side if I load the front part. I use a 20' + 5' dovetail from Trailer Parts and Sales in L-burg (Joe Denny owns it, good guy to work with, if you go look stop, by and I'll buy you a cup of coffee, I'm less than a mile down the road.). Good trailer, priced right. Got 2-7500# axles. Does great up to 130% of GTWR. Just recently used a 26' with dual tandem on it, the extra tires take a lot of sway out of hauling. On mine, I can haul 188 square bales or 11 rolls without the board on the dovetail (I didnt get fold down ramps; big mistake). Get 225 with the board on. Any more and I use a longer trailer. Your truck will do fine. I've got an '01 2500 Dodge with a 24v Cummins. Never had any problem pulling anything I could hook to it as fast or faster than I could stop it.
