Hauled a 1966 Chrysler imperial and a 78 new yorker on a 40ft GN from Pheonix to Rock Springs WY with the 97 in my sig. Cars weighed about 6600 each and the trailer weighed 7000.
Pulled a loaded truck out of a snow drift in a pull out next to the raod. When i started pulling his trailer tires were just sliding, he forgot to release the brakes.

Ten concrete blocks weighing 2300 lbs. each. Truck and trailer weight around 12,000. I also pull two s220 bobcats with buckets on them at a time. They are probably around 9000 each with buckets.
This is on a triple axle 24 ft. trailer with 7000 lb. axles. I don't go far with this kind of weight.

They heaviest I had hauled was a full size backhoe on a 40 foot tandem trailer. trailer alone is over 8k. Last month I hauled 7 bundles of railroad ties at 20 ties per bundle some good some bad. Either way trailer was bowing I had 8 on and had them take one off. Don't want to know the weight just didn't want to get caught. All I can say is one end is very heavy on these ties definetely can't lift one by myself. Pic is in my profile. Truck was running 900-1000 degrees on flat land at 55. 140 ties if each one is 200 pounds load alone was 28k plus truck and trailer if each one was 150 load would be 21k plus truck and trailer.
