Subject: Gooseneck Trailer, Behind a semi



For spraying we put two 1500 gallon tanks on a tandem axel gooseneck trailer. So as you can see the weight that we have to pull with a pickup is pretty substantial. We just bought a semi this fall (T-800, 470 Detroit, airide, daycab) and I was thinking it would be much easier to pull the trailer with the semi. Any suggestions on how to mount a gooseneck type hitch to semi, I know someone has done it before, because i have seen. Thing is I trust your guys opinions more than the random guy running around the coutry side that I have seen do it. Please give me some suggestions pictures would be a big plus.

The trailer has electric brakes, do you think I need to put a controller in the semi also?? Or will the semi have enough stoping power without the brakes. I am thinking it will, but the truck is pretty light because it is a daycab. Opinions are appreciated.
