I just have to ask. Do you go through the weigh stations?
Nice rig, but a BLUE trailer?

I do go thru weight stations because I am supposed to. have I ever skipped them when I was overweight? ya, but the ramp was full when I got there.

The M270 has a 40' deck and 9' goose neck. so it's about 50' overall. I am asking 4500 for this one, it has real airbrakes which is very very nice to have.
The M270 is about 17k empty depending on how much junk you keep in the box's. and can max out at 57,500

We have the same trailer and love it. Thats a VERY good price for that trailer and being ex-air force I'm sure it's had an easy life. If you were 200 miles from me I'd buy it to have another. The belly on the M270 trailer is DEEP and looks like something rated for 35T not the heavily derated 20T they show on the data plate.
What speed can you run with the 818 pulling your M270 and two M35s. Will it go 65 on the flats?

If, when you log in, you check the little box "keep me logged in" (or something like that), then the SS site won't TIME OUT on you and dump you off.
Hope that helps.
