I'm playing devil's advocate here. If I ran a dump trailer I would have to register the trailer with another axle over a tri. I understand your point on getting the axle weight right, but I'm still not convinced that its not a good do-able idea.
I'm thinking long-term on this idea, not short term. If I were to buy one next march, I will probably lose money just working for a quarry for the 1st year or so until I get a system down.. But as time goes on and these contractors catch wind that I can carry more than a triaxle and still get into tight spots where they can , it might work out!
Is there ton of "risk" involved, absolutely! But I'm willing to take that risk.
I could also go buy a used single frame OTR tractor with light rears, and a detroit and put a tag axle on it with an aluminum body to gross 25-26 ton but I'm not down with that.
