heaviest scrap run I've had was a little over 21k. stock 2006 mega cab dually with 20' big tex bumper pull. i thought the truck was getting weak on me until i looked at the scale slip. but still managed to get up to 55 mph up a bridge from a dead stop at the bottom

Ive done 8 axles. Tandem axle sleeper International with a Super 10 in it pulling conventional 28.5 foot triples. 30 Tires to kick. Overall length would be around 106 feet.

I did a single axle 4'X8' trailer with my 2003 SUZUKI 500 4X4 ATV & that is all I've towed

I get to haul a 06 GMC Sierra Crewcab Shortbed Duramax from my uncles house to the scrap yard because my cousin went head on with a 18 wheeler and lost. My first time hauling anything except a boat

Btw my cousin is alright, just broke his arm and hurt his pride since he lost control trying to race a mustang on the highway, he went across median and shot across 2 more lanes and a semi caught the passenger side of the truck head on and spun him around a few times and rolled him. Stupid stupid stupid

Funny thing is tho, he took the truck without my uncle knowing. I Wonder how that conversation went....

I use my 99 2500 to haul backhoes for my boss but before i bought it the guy was using it to pull a thirty five foot stock trailer around so its seen a lot of weight behind it.
