12 concrete blocks weighing 2k lbs a piece.

I think you're overloaded with those concrete blocks lol. Did you buy them or rent them? Been looking for some.

Yea I was a little heavy. Truck still pulled them and stopped just fine tho. There's a concrete company here that makes them and sells them for $40 a piece. I bought 60 of them for a job I was working on.

Trailer is an Infinity GN500. Don't know exactly what that load weighed but had a similar one on that grossed 37,750.

My guess is you work in oil and gas.

Nope, active duty in the Navy. Retiring in a couple of years, making myself mobile so I can move wherever I want for my next career.

you going to make it a dually I assume ?

I've thought about a dually conversion, but probably not going to bother. Just going to use these: Vision Wheels

Good deal....there is so much of that in this region that countless camper cities have popped up over the last few years.

Doesn't look like it, but the srw is towing 17k lol. Did pretty good for a crappy hpop and worn injectors.

After this weekend at NHRDA at Rockingham I think it is safe to say, I find the breaking points....

The gross weight on this was 34,200, I thought I included that but I didn't.

I wouldn't dare pull that with a 250 lol. Sure it "can" but in my opinion that's way overloaded.

I can see that being 17k pretty easy....nice setup.

Well I wasn't a huge fan of it but we were 2 hours from home and I broke both trucks. It wasn't the pulling part or the handling part it was the getting the rig slowed down.
