Mine is a different situation, but I think has a couple of relevant factors. My 1990 8100 IH dump truck averages 8mpg. Cummins L10 set for maximum emergency vehicle HP(350) Gross about 54000#, tare a little over 18000#, generally fully loaded half the time, empty other half. I think I would let someone else do the hauling if I had to go back to a truck without air suspension.
A light single axle tractor appropriate for you is probably a lot harder to find, and maybe even more expensive than a full sized road tractor!
Good luck
