The backbone of the new trailer is great, weight, length, axles etc.. you’re dealing with setup issues very well, that might be what it takes to really get it right because they just don’t do that at the factory. Maybe buy a laser and do your own alignments ? Excellent video and thank you for sharing numbers and details.

Alex, I've been running a hotshot up here in the Pacific NW for several years now and myself and 3 other hotshot guys up here all use Load Trail trailers that we bought down in Texas at The Trailer Guys dealerships. Best trailers by far, no issues and we have all put hundreds of thousands of miles on them, so they've been tested! Plus the neck is only 93 inches on those trailers, exactly what you need. Their trailers are also light, under 7,000lbs for a 2 axle non cdl 40footer. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Alex, your videos are some of the most interesting of all the hotshot channels. I like how you leave the messages from those who disagree with you, because so many just delete those kind... you've got guts. Your energy is in a class of its own, but you could slow down the pace a bit and come through clearer - I think you know that. One of the reasons that you have more subscribers than anyone else is that you create controversy. And the Big Tex brand is at the root of this. No trailers are perfect, but this economy model definitely has some trade-offs for sure. I see that you read the comments, and are more open-minded than most, so if some day you do change your mind about your choice, I would not be surprised. The ultimate sign of strength of character is when someone openly admits they were wrong and then just moves on. 😉

With the down time you get from a broken vehicle when your “working” not using it for personal use, the warranty is worth nothing if you break down and are hundreds of miles away from a place that is willing and able to service the trailer as well as it may be parked for a month, so in simple terms it’s a lot cheaper to fix it yourself in 1 day, not pay a towing company to get it to a big Tex, $300 minimum and it goes up from there In the thousands, the warranty probably does not cover labor do there’s more money being spent after hotel, down time and if you had to hire a towing company to deliver your load plus the food you are eating and dealerships don’t make money on warranty repairs so they usually are not in a rush and they charge a ton of money. Yes this sucks and sometimes you can use the warranty but in the business of making money it’s not worth the down time to warranty a transport vehicle, at my company rarely do we take the truck to the dealership only for them to wait 30 days just sitting until they might be able to work on it and then the dealership makes up a ton of excuses to not warrant the truck and say it’s your fault their was a failure, for instance, your truck won’t go into drive because you have not done the engine oil change, we usually service the truck on everything before taking it to the dealer, so no it’s north worth the warranty if the downtown exceeds the warranty repair, hence why he used to buy new trailers every year so they would have no wear and tear and could at least have a chance at 1 year worth of use on the road, where I work after 5 years on our comercial trucks they buy new ones because we are 90% off road and the shaking and vibrations eats these trucks up where they feel like if we have been driving them for 30 years

A true 8k Dexter with the 3 3/8" brake drum and oil bath is a must-have upgrade for the money IMO for a guy that's bumping it down the road all day trying to make a living. Heavier running gear is going to hold up better. Torsion axle vs spring is a tougher one...torsion you have to be a little more careful with were as spring is a little more forgiving, but with added maintenance. The tires they put on there are probably still off brand crap from Asia though.

With dual torflex axles you are more likely to pop a tire going over a pot hole because they don't act like a reg leaf dual. If i remember correctly dexter themselves doesn't recomend duals or triples that are too close to each other. You can search for torflex axle duals problems. Don't know if they are too close but something to be aware of and look out for.

Or do they just care about gvwr of truck and trailer combined, but not if I’m over the gvwr of the trailer? 6k doesn’t seem like much to be able to haul?

you can haul more than 6000 cause some of the weight is going into the truck also. Axle rating and weight distribution is what you have to pay attention to. load mizer has a good video on this.

Hang some comforters on your office wall to stop the echo. That rusty milkshake is water and rust contaminated oil. That is not a good sign. Was there rust on the bearing races? Now, you need to carry a grease gun and a bearing packing set (that funnel shaped packing set) so you can repack your bearings every 5000 miles. A supply of inner seals and dust caps would be good. Or, get some advice from a marine/boat trailer shop that knows how to make bearings tolerate harsh environments.

I have a 41 ft Texas Pride with the 9K axles. I have my CDL but have my setup for 26,000 to stop from messing with IFTA. I have an H Plate(26,000 pound) on my truck and an ST plate( semi trailer) on the trailer. The truck plate carries all the weight since the ST trailer plate doesnt have a weight rating.

Why not just go CDL? I'd be tired of sleeping in a pickup truck. I had zero experience in trucking, took the online practice tests for CDL licenses and went and got my class A permit, drove a log truck with a buddy of mine 3 or 4 times and went and took the driving part and got my license. Now I have hazmat, tanker, and doubles endorsements with no restrictions. No schooling or money paid out other than for the license. I didn't and still don't even have a use for them. It's actually scary how easy it was to get a class A CDL license.

I know this is Old would you be interested in a custom-made trailer? Do you need a 8' or can it be shorter like a 7'6" with 40'6"' deck ? or 7'8" with 40'4" deck with dual 7,000 lb. Hydraulic Disc Brake Standard Spring Dexter dual 7,000 lb. #12 Dexter Torflex Rubber Torsion Suspension Trailer Axle Beam dual Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Standard Duty - No Drop - 5 Bolt Flange - 7,000 lbs are the only axles I can get

My advice is stop switching it to grease. Oil not only lubricates but it cools the bearings. It was very easy to pull that seal, so keep extra seals with you

You live in Texas now, why not order directly from them with your specifications and have it delivered through a local dealer instead of Pennsylvania? It sounds like they did not inspect for milky oil in your axles or alignments before you took delivery of it?

Next time look at like this. If you have a wagon that can haul 200pounds and you load it with 150pounds every day, how long will it last? Now if you have a wagon that can haul 500pounds and you load it with that same 150#’s do you think you will wear it out at the same rate as the wagon rated for 200#’s?

I pulled a 53' flatbed gooseneck with a 2020 Ram 3500 all up and down the I-5 corridor. The company I was working for has gone to court and won against the California Highway Patrol and we all carried a copy of the court judgment in our registration binder but I was never bothered. The key is that we had a 100 gallon fuel tank in the bed leaving less than 34 sp fi of bed space and, as long as you don't carry property in the bed you are a truck tractor not a straight truck. You can carry any equipment for the truck, trailer and tie downs but not shipper property on the truck. I'm CDL but that is not really the issue except that the 53' trailer is heavier and Non-CDL couldn't haul much on a 53'.
