    Do like Gus used to, put 2 on the deck and stack one above for a total of 3 to the yard at one time. Cha-Ching.

    It's around 2 ton empty. The truck will pull 4 to 5 no prob. It's weighted at 14,000 gvwr. I'll def need a 350 diesel if I intend to max it out. It's going to haul other things than scrap metal. Bulky items that take up excessive space; that don't weigh as much as scrap.

    I've heard girth (volume) is the most important factor... :-)

    that thing should pull quite a lot but like a lot of people have said it's stopping thats the problem haha I havent had much more then a ton between bed and trailer I think wasn't going to the yard so I dont know the weight, most I weighed going to the yard was 11700 and I'm pretty sure I weighed a little more then that the other week. but thats why I bought a 2500
