Flatbed here, anything 49k+ is usually steel but brokers often lie on the weight to scare off hotshots. The only advantage to a 53 is you can fit more product on it with light materials. If it's heavy stuff like steel there's no difference between a 53 or 48 but having a spread axle helps though.

Probably just the market I was in. It might be a good market for van but not flatbed.

We do insulation that weighs that. Super light. It’s one of the if not the lightest building material you’ll ever pull.

Foam is that light for building materials.

Must of all flatbed loads are heavy 45 to 48k because we are lighter. my empty weight is only 30k with full tanks. And the weight have nothing to do with the trailer lenght . 48ft is just your most common that guys but i would rather have a 53ft flatbed
