moving a job site trailer

For safety, just hire a mobile home hauler. They do it all the time and has the permits needed and the insurance/lights/signs/mirrors.
If the Dot would stop you, it could cost you your truck. Those toters are built to haul the big trailers. I hauled a 12x48 park model thru downtown Atlanta years ago, and that was the only time my mudflaps on my dually drug the ground.

good advice. Its just now dawning on me how big this thing is!

That trailer would put your dually's a$$ down on the ground, maybe break an axle. plus with a M.H. toter, the permits and everything needed is all included in the price quoted. Up here there is 2 brothers that do used mobile homes and even teardown and setup is included in the price, just a thought.

I had a smaller one, 24 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft. The thing was big but fairly light and only on a single axle with 2 5/16 ball hitch. Great for a remote office or for storage while working a job, but with single axle not good for any added weight. Pulled it with a one ton. Got it for free because contractor that had it didn't have anywhere to keep it and needed it gone.

If the Dot or any police agency looks at your truck and see's no wide load mirrors/oversize load signs/ and Dot numbers, they will pull you over for the state/hwy patrol to do a complete check out, could possibly write a ticket for each offense, or possibly tow the trailer and impound the truck. I knew of a semi driver (renegade) that got fined close to $5000 for multiple offenses and his truck impounded. Not saying this will happen, anythings possible today with a police agency.

yeah that just looks like a hefty fine waiting to happen if you move it on your own, i have a chevy 3500HD (10 lug truck) and the specs say it could pull something like that, but as stated above if the highway patrol see's you, you better have wide load gear and the tags on your truck better be weighted for that load otherwise they will bury you in tickets, at least i know the will in NC, around here the highway patrol loves ****ing with anybody they think is "overloaded", i have had more than my share of roadside inspections, fortunately i keep my paperwork in order, and my trucks set-up, but its still a pain in the rear.

not sayin you couldn't move it yourself but unless you have the truck for it and the gear to be legal the risk's may not be worth it.

and this is not my truck but its what i mean by a 3500HD its not a regular 1 ton, it has 10 lug wheels, solid axle front suspension and a frame almost as stiff as a 2-ton truck. and if you look the axle is pushed more to the rear of the truck than a regular pick-up trucks axle is.

This is what "professional mobile home drivers" and "mobile home toters" are for. Not "class E" license holders with a "dually".

I also forgot, those things don't have brakes do they? I like brakes.

They should have 1 or 2 axle electric brakes, unless a mouse has eaten thru the wires, then it's anybody's guess. That's why a toter, their big enough to whoa down a load like that.
