| Being a gooseneck helps slightly. Keeping under 40 mph helps, flat roads, no traffic. You might get by. My 425 gravity box does great at 45 loaded. I have to keep under 35 mph or it bounces. Next year I am considering using two. Pull, unload one, unhook, get 2nd pull two empty home slower. It’s over 27 miles each way.
I hire semi trucks for majority. But haul only a few thousand bu myself.
A thought. Once you load. IF front, or rear seems heavy. I would then consider adding a 5200 or larger electric brake axle. $1000 would increase its safety slightly. From my understanding it’s still not legal behind a pickup. But working lights, brakes on one axle should help. | |
