hot shotters, how many trailers and what kind do you have?

i want to kick myself in the tail from tie to time for only buying a 32 footer... seems 40+ is the way to go...

so i was thinking my next trailer should be a 45 footer, with neck over car ramps. this would cover a few uses.

also a nice enclosed trailer or two as well...

any advice is good!

I have a 36 ft (dual tandem 10k Dexters) and a 18 ft tongue pull (single 6,000 dexters). I am going to keep my 36 and purchase a 40 ft in the next coming months. I have the 18ft to haul stuff that just will not fit in the bed and for all those loads that take up only half of my 36 footer.

Where would you find a trailer like that? The other day I saw a 3 car slant being pulled by a Dodge dually that had extensions on the top for another car. Had four cars on it but the one on top looked rather precarious to say the least. I would not want to get it off balance.:eek:

I run a 35'+5' pop up Pj with tandem duals under it, some pics up here on site, somewhat for sale at the current time. Also use one of my 18 or 20'ers for just single car high paying runs. waytogo

I have the following.
8.5x24 enclosed car trailer
10 yard dump w/ 7ton limit
20 yrad dump w/ 10ton limit
aluminum stock trailer for horses and cattle
25 flat gooseneck trailer for the bigger loads.

do any of you wish you had an additional or different trailer?

I wish my trailer fleet consisted of the following:

Bumper pulls

6x12 open 3.5k gvw
20'x83" tilt car hauler 12k gvw
24'x8.5' 12k enclosed car hauler

Goosenecks

40'x8.5' 21k enclosed car hauler goose
20+5 20k goose flatdeck
35+5 20k goose flatdeck with 10' deck on the neck
53' 3/4 car wedge

And the truck I posted in the Dream Truck thread in the general forum to pull em burnout

Have a 07 Big Tex 14GN 25+5. Nice trailer. Pulls awsome. Should have went with a little larger but does the job for now. Led lighting, Pop up center, breakaway with charger, dark red. Heres a couple older shots of both my trucks.

17-34ft Jayco's, never haul the same one twice:D. For hauling other things, Big Tex 18ft car trailer, Kaufman 2 car wedge, and 24ft Haulmark Enclosed. I have sold all these and am currently looking at an Imperial 2 car, a custom 2 car by Hodges, or 53ft wedge w/ a center rail either my Big Tex or Take 3.

what is special about the center rail?

The center rail has ball towers that slide in it and attach to a winch so you can pull trailers up and down it.

thats cheating... but cool!

here ya go:

Hmmmm.... maybe I should add one of those to my trailer. Brisk, what is the hole for at the back of the rail, just drainage or something else?

I wish I had bought a 40' lowboy for hauling low centered cars.

I dont know what the hole is for but drainage makes sense.
