Been out "shopping". I've found several prospects.
The first is a "trade-in" tri-axle, with 3 6000lb axles, steel deck, no ramps, and worn-out tires. I can get it CHEAP! ($1750)
Anyone know the D.O.T. laws on tri-axles? (Indiana, and Kentucky) Someone told me that there is a combined GVW limit of 28000, before it's subject to commercial vehicle laws. What's the scoop on that?
The other trailer is a new 18'+3', with fold-down ramps, 2 jacks, 2 6000lb axles, and 10 ply tires (new), 2" oak deck, and a nice $2895 price.
I'm leaning toward the new one. That's the best price on a new one I've got so far.
My question is all about the tri-axle set-up. I've got 14000 tags on my truck. The trailer COULD be tagged for up to 18000lbs. Even with 14000, I'd still be at what I'm told is "over the limit". Help me! John
