Fontaine combo flatbed
10 chains, 10 binders, 1 set of lumber tarps, 1 toolbox (60"x24")in between the spreads (drivers side). Headboard. Steel rims I'm 31,500 lbs full of fuel My weight didn't include chains, binders, tarps, headboard and the trailer has aluminum rims. Plus I have an M11 (BIG weight savings there....I'm 10,000 on the steers), 22.5" lo pros and you've got a longer wheelbase and carry 40 lbs more fuel than me.

Thanks rank, I would like to be able to scale at least 48000 after adding a tool box and more tarps so if I get all aluminum wheels on the trailer I think it would be close to balancing back out to where I'm at now.
Although I now see GMAN's point that light freight is better I also want to keep my options open.
