SCIA
If your state weight laws are such that with a tridem you can haul 88-92K, get a 50-53 footer with rear lifting axle. We go in and out of fields all the time with them. No real difference in turning radius over a 40-43 footer with the rear lifted. And we can haul 1150 corn legally with no problems loading, three piles in the front and two in the rear. If you want to make any money, it is bushels that pay. Most truckers are like farmers., bid the price right down to break even. Hauling the extra bushels, if your state laws allow, is an advantage, as cost per bushel, on the extra payload, is really low.
