First haul

Finally got around to using my M101 trailer after having it for about a month. Came to 1.2 tons of 1B stone in the bed. Tracked perfectly behind the truck and was very well balanced. Maybe next time I will get between 1.5 and 2 tons because it barely seemed to squat the trailer. I was more concerned about the truck having the power to pull it around the hills. I have an 86 Dodge with a 318 and it need to be punched at times but it still got the job done. The tailgate even spread it around when I pulled away! Very happy with this trailer :)

I hauled 2800 lbs of AB3 in my M101 last year and it did fine, pulled it with my 1977 M885. Pit is only 3 miles from my house.

The closest place to me is about 12 miles away but some of the hills to get there are very steep. If I go to the quarry which is about 20 miles away the drive is much easier and the price is about half anyway.
