joes mack Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) its fairly heavy but i wish it was heavier it has 55,000lb rears and double frame. when i hauled with it full time it would usualy 40-45 tons a load without any problems but that is just too much weight for a double frame truck in my opinion but you have to do it or you cant make any money arround here. the bed is only 19feet long it was about 20inches taller but i cut the side boards off to cut down on the weight some but it didnt help a whole lot it still would haul 38-40 tons. im still in the process of getting another truck(hopefully) eather a dm800 or rd800 with tripple frame and 65,000lb rears and a bigger bed 21-22 foot/96-102inches high then i can haul the weight that i need with a little more peace of mind. joe Edited February 14, 2010 by joes mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
