If you need to protect metal portions of the deck I would recommend getting a horse stall mat and cutting it down. I put those down and they work pretty well. When I haul the D5 I use tires to load obviously but the flat mats work great for everything else

I was going to get some old conveyor belting but that’s also a very smart idea. Ya I the first dozer I hauled was a d3 and she had her way with the deck for sure 😂

@4:25. Why not wrap the chain from the machine around one of those rollers between stake pockets and then use the binder to sinch the chain after it emerges from the upside of the roller to the chain coming down from the machine so that you won't risk bending that thin metal bar or the hook bounces out down a bouncy county maintained road.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Great question, that rub rail is much thicker than you think, and using the roller to tie back up the machine actually binds up the binder making it contact with the chain making it twist and hard to tighten down to the machine there’s not enough separation between to the two make it easy and not become a pain in tying down equipment

Big time never come to a quick enough stop

[@peydaze]

Be safe! I'm sure you are and your equipment will handle all that. A good (or just a stickler) DOT officer will ticket you for being overweight. That gooseneck ball is only rated @ 30k. I have essentially the same setup as you, but my trailer only weigh 6300 lbs, I haul for CAT and I won't go bigger than a CP44. My fear is getting into an accident and a good attorney sees that ball rating, then sees th GCVWR of the truck is exceeded and I'm toast. Even if I'm not the one at fault.

[@IManOPERATOR]

I can definitely understand where you’re coming yes technically I’m over by about 2-3k on my ball however from my experience and knowledge officers can mainly fault you if you’re over axle weights and or tires, things in contact with the roadways, any ball system will most likely fail in a collision that and or the neck of the trailer. On average a 40mph wreck will create over 200k lbs of force on any one object something is going to and will fail regardless. I’ve seen at my old job a tractor trailer and an empty lowboy sheet off the 5th wheel of the truck when it got rear ended by another tractor. There’s a lot involved for sure. However 3” ball is in the works to have a true 40k rating on the trailer. Appreciate you. Thanks for the comment

Like a musquito to a musquito lamp, some people just have to cut off the truck towing! I tow with my 1995 cclb f350. Nothing nearly this heavy and usually about 60mph. For safety I use the slow lane and everything.

It never fails. Things I’ll never understand n life. I used to haul even heavier equipment with a tractor trailer grossing about 120k lbs and you just get used to getting cut off. Apparently people would rather die then getting stuck behind you 😂

I've never loaded a CAT sheepfoot roller but I believe you should be able to make them run just on the tires and that roller won't slip so much climbing the bed. I haul for Sunbelt and a driver told me about it and I've never known for sure on how exactly to do it on every different machine but I know if it slips I start messing with the controls until I get it to climb ok.

[@IManOPERATOR]

It’s a pain but make it work some how would be nice to just have power to the tires Just got to ease it in lol

[@charlesbourgeois9029]

I think you should have trailer brakes at max without locking up in this scenario. If you need the stopping power you need it ya know.

Oh ya brakes are all there. Even Max tow I swear they’ll lock up suckers got a lot of braking power

[@rirebel6029]

Awesome video man I too am an operator and I'm not trying to be "that guy " just curious ...around here ( Rhode Island ) when I got my class a cdl we were all taught that if you hook any binders or chains to the outside of the rub rails they will consider it an unsecured load and also over width .just a heads up

[@IManOPERATOR]

Naa you’re good man. I’ve head stuff like that and I’ve never seen or heard of a dot officer fine someone on that. I’ve spoken to officers around here told me if anyone does get you in that to give them his phone number. Think about it also you can tow a full size truck and the mirrors stick out farther then the trailer but it’s not a wide load by any means . Biggest thing on chains and binders, if there is a binder handle sticking far past the deck of the trailer or a chain swinging from the deck that can cause a hazard.

[@rirebel6029]

Thats good .I know around here something like the mirrors on a truck sticking out they would get you for same with snow pushers that are over width you got to haul it the long way on a trailer .same goes for plows on trucks bit like you said it all depends on the officer you get too

Just a tip, I mean no disrespect but when you chain to the trailer, you’re supposed to wrap the chain around the cylinder and back on itself. I noticed you just hooked to the rub rail, the rub rails aren’t meant for or rated for that. But good video, I’ve got a 3500 mega cab and I love it.

Hello, excellent video. I have a question which Truck recommends me with a 40 ft Trailer to make Hotshot? The RAM 3500 or 5500?

[@IManOPERATOR]

Thank you, personally I would go with a 3500, I’m not sure the amount of weight you want to be hauling everyday. Being in the hwy with 4:88 gears you’ll be at 2300 rpm or so doing 70mph with the 3500 4:10 gears you’ll be at 2k rpm Little bit more comfortable ride also, plus you can get the HO since 4500-5500 are SO trucks 5500 is a much heavier duty truck however it can limit you in ride quality. 3500 is a solid all’s round hauler and having that 1000 ft lbs does make a huge difference

Hi there. You are right I was investigating and of that type of specifications on the truck RAM 3500 2022. What I have the doubt that I can use the trailer of 40 ft is to make Hotshot. You know it is a very hard job that is why I ask you.

Do you see yourself towing this around long term? Or was this just for a video? How’s the trans/brakes/ EGT’s doing with that load? Thx

I tow at this weight every week and sometimes 2-3 times in a week. Trans is solid, did the 30k service on it, I’m at about 38k miles now, Brakes are still in speck being oem, I will be doing the brakes soon though. 1/2 wore down is trash for me. Egt don’t know and don’t care. Truck will derate its self if egts get to high.

[@ckryegrass11]

So if your rear end is breaking loose under power does that mean you dont have enough weight on the box????

[@IManOPERATOR]

I have on average 15-20% weight in my rear axle sometimes you just break loose. These trucks just have so much first gear torque. And the drag of the load just amplifies it. Sometimes could be dirt on the ground or oil who knows but it’s happened a hand full of times out of no where then won’t happen again. Just things you want to be careful of, you can definitely nap axles or a pinion that way

[@sonsofliberty3081]

Not being a jerk, just a heads up. Some dot don't like the binder on the outside of the rub rail. They like it inside the rail and hooked to the pocket. If you get a real prick he may try and screw with you. I've had my share of pricks. I have over a million miles hauling oversized loads in a big truck with a low profile step deck.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Not at all I appreciate it. I have my own dot officer I’ve known since I was a kid I’ve asked him this before he said ya technically it’s not right however if anyone is to give you a hard time about that and only that just tell them to call me.

I’ve had this girl for about 7 months now, I have a buddy that’s had his for 2 years as of last month if I remember right. This is by far the best investment you can make it will treat you right and work as hard as you do. It surpasses PJ in every way from design, weight, service, quality and biggest thing no dove tail trailer lifts more than DC my tail can lift 10k lbs and support it on the tail. PJ and load trail only lift 4K I think and it’s not a cam over system it’s a mechanical lock. This tail has no way to fall when lifted back up in its tow position much safer and much heavier duty.

Wats the difference between the 3500 and 4500&5500 RAM?

[@IManOPERATOR]

Upping from the 3500 to the 4500 main changes are wide track front axle, larger rear end and larger breaks on the truck, also getting the option to have lower gear ratio. Back half of the frame is heavier for cargo use and heavier suspension all around on the truck. However the one down fall is a derated motor you can’t get the 4500-5500 in the HO configuration

[@landonleffler2106]

I have an 11 single cab dually, when I'm towing about 25k the wheels will skid under hard breaking, very sketchy. I've always wondered if a crew cab being heavier would help prevent locking wheels up.

Have a few more videos pulling grades I try to always say the rpm, speed and temps when I’m going up and down. On flat land like with this tow, engine temps never go over 210 and trans temps stay around 170 unless in town getting red lights then I’ll spike up to 177-185 but anything just hauling on the highway trans stays 167-175 and engine will keep at about 205 on a hot day too.

@@Subi_doo GCWR is 54k lbs for this combination. Not even close to being overloaded. And honestly if you like the power feel but a ford.

[@Subi_doo]

@@IManOPERATOR the added up GCWR might be 54k for you truck gvwr and trialer gvwr, but the manufacturer, RAM, says their ram 3500 dually, crew cab long box, had a max GCWR for their truck and trialer is 43,400 lbs. I have the ram weights page from the dealer. The cab and chassis tow less

[@Subi_doo]

@@IManOPERATOR I’m trying to run a 30k trailer, but I’m concerned about pin weight, and rolling through scales. The manufacturer says 43k is their max GCWR, so I’m assuming, you don’t get on the freeway with that kind of weight, let alone go through scale houses. I’m sure with those weights, you’d be in for a big surprise. No doubt the Ram can handle pulling it, but it’s not rated for it by the manufacturer.

Tow haul doesn’t let the truck shift till 2k rpm and down shifting is much more aggressive when you apply the brakes

Couldn’t tell you yes or no. I’m not a Chevy person. Biggest thing for me the cummins has the best exhaust brake system. Hold weight back extremely well.

It’s a gooseneck ball. And yes they have the 3” ball for this trailer. I have a 2 5/16 right now on it. Going to up it to the 3” ball soon for some extra beef.

[@trucker1375]

You shouldn't put your binder hook on the outside of the rub rail, you should put it down between the rub rail and trailer deck.

[@IManOPERATOR]

1/2-3/8 hooks don’t fit between a rub rail. That’s an old outdated law/myth that I never understand the reason behind it. Rub rail is the most secure restraint for all loads however you attach or use it.

Best part about owning your own cluster. I do accept ram 5500 donations though. Plus check your flat bed make sure it even built the right way to handle this weight. Seen many with weak and little welds Better chance of the ball-in the flat bed to fail if not built the proper way

[@jadams736]

I can tell you what the problem is your chaining on the tail too much up play on that junk need to cross chain on articulated equipment or put the lock bar in place Dot can write a ticket for no cross chain or lock bar

[@IManOPERATOR]

There is no problem the way I hauled this machine. There’s little to no play at all on the tail of this trailer. No need to cross the chain when you’ve already achieved 45 degree of angle when chaining down (which is optimum) no clue what you’re taking about for the lock bar, dot can’t ticket you due to “how you chained” with in limitations of course, 1 being you have over 50% of towing weight chained down, you have chains tied in or tied out in pairs (min) all other chains or straps for cautionary and or to support up to your 50% of weight. If you’re taking about the “lock bar” for the tail of my trailer, there is no such thing. It’s a camover system that locks itself the tail with hydros has to cycle to “unlock” the tail. If that’s what you’re talking about.

[@edwinmendez3989]

Nothing like a ram. Why don't you use a 5500 ram?

[@IManOPERATOR]

I wanted the 3500 since it ad the HO motor option and I also use my dually for longer trips at times more comfortable ride plus the truck itself is lighter allowing it to tow more weight. 4500-5500 are great trucks if you need the truck for payload capacity and or if you want lower gearing since you can get 4:56-4:88 if I remember correctly. My truck is a 4:10, honestly making it awesome for hauling heavy and on hwy I sit at 2k rpm going 70 mph vs doing 70 at 2300-2500 rpm like a 5500 would do

[@CoyoteFTW]

Cat CP568 weight can range from 14k to 26k lbs. Trailer weighs no more than 4k lbs which means you are nowhere hear 44k lbs. Some Ram fanboy is going to kill himself because he thinks he can put 40k lbs on a truck because of your video. On a Ford you could get away with it not a dodge tho. 😉

[@IManOPERATOR]

This is a cp56B which weighs 26k lbs if you watch my videos I cat scaled my truck for it’s empty gross combined weight. You honestly think a trailer of this capability and size weights only 4K lbs? I suppose if it was to be made of titanium and carbon fiber. It doesn’t take me for idiots on the road to over load their truck, what I do is legal in every factor. Currently weight these days I’m in the 45/47 range with my new machine. I personally will never use a ford for the mountains I tow up and down on. With the transmission temps they display and the lack of engine braking they are capable of. No thank you.
