Ive got my eye on a trailer and need some opinions(good or bad) Its 57ft total length, 7ft neck, 46ft of flat and 4ft of dove(pops up too) Bridge is a whopping 47ft. It is 102" wide and has trailer haul package. 9k alum ramps with custom under trailer ramp storage.

Are these dimensions feasible with blanket permits? I run AL, GA, FL, SC, NC and TN. Lets here it...quick. Under the gun to buy or let it go.

I have hauled all kinds of trailers from single pup trailers to 57 1/2' "super size" can vans to over dimention loads. I would NOT be happy with a 47' bridge!! And Dont even think about hauling it to Calif. Also I would be careful in other states on overall length and bridge. Personaly, I would pass!

Yup, I would pass also. It says 16k Gvwr also & that means it has light weight axles. The trailer itself weighs at least 9k. The person that buys this has a lot of ticket & tire bills in there future. That's not a great deal at all. Run away.

Im looking for a multi purpose trailer. Need to have 2-3 vehicle and freight capability. 45' lowboy or stepdeck style. No wedges. If any of yall have a trailer you're ready to un-ass, post it up. Im needing to buy fairly soon.

I've got a 50' 2008 24k GVW step deck that I would sell. Its a lo pro with 40' of lower deck 32" deck height & 10' of upper deck with ramps for loading cars up on the top deck. Electric over hydro disc 12k oil bath axles. In very nice shape, 90% tires & brakes. I just bought a class 8 setup so I don't need the trailer. Here are some pics of it. P.m. me if you have any questions

Im located one hour south of Augusta Ga. Yeah, Tosch's step is nice. I run an '06 3500 4x4 four door goat. I currently pull a two place bumper pull with a winch. I primarily use it to bring home all my stashed repos. I have been pulling more and more units to and from the auctions lately, mainly for the lenders and lots that I repo for. The transporting side is sooo much cleaner and safer. Not to mention the insurance is alot cheaper. Im burnt out on "stealin for a livin".

I have no reservations about losing the bed. I have a small, dedicated customer base for autos/trucks but would like to supplement with ltl freight/equip/machinery. Thanks for the insight on that e-bay monster.
