They sell both 7 & 8 car trailers. I went with miller T-7 myself just because of the dealer network.

 

I have a Kauffman 8 car EZ Loader high mount triler with a 99 Century
freightliner,Loaded with 8 mid size pick ups (Rangers,Explorers) never scales over 68000

 

What is your light weight, GhostCaptain? Do you pull with a single axle tractor or tandem?

 

I pull with a tandem axle Freightliner 18000 # with 300 Gls of fuel
trailer 16000 # + 8 car avg 4250 # each, Suburbans are 5500 #
I run from Houston,TX to Brownsville,TX 700 miles round trip for $1600 per trip 4 per week 360 Mi empty I get 6.5 MPG with a C-12 Cat 10 spd

 

Stop beating around the bush Ghost, give us the facts. :lol:

 

GhostCaptain, your trailer is a lot lighter than the ones I used to pull. Mine seemed to average about 25,000 pounds. I pulled Bankhead/Cottrell trailers. I did pull a Delavan at one time. I believe it was about the same weight as the Bankhead. It has been a while. How does the Kaufman hold up? Any stress related cracks or problems with the welds?

 

Yes it is very light , there is only one moving hydraulic plataform at the back to load the cars on top,and very easy to thight down, 4 top cars chains with clusters, bottom all straps, very good trailer no structural or welding problems

 

It sounds like you have a pretty good run going down to South Texas. Do you ever find anything coming back up to Houston?

 

Say this question is probably aimed more at Steve or G-man; when I buy my first flat-bed trl, should I get a step-deck or the conv?....leaning more to step-deck but still dunno since clueless what work I can dig up for it.

N to all you that keep asking my exp......none at all....just bought a rig (Incl. 53 foot air ride), got my authority, n been driving out here 5 months now, nothing to it!!!!!!!this is EASY anyone can be an old dumb truck driver, why I bet I could just hire anyone off the streets like I am................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .....
