There's a trip down memory lane.
I worked at the main Taggart terminal in Perth Ont for Perkins Motors in 1976, as an apprentice, doing service and repairs on weapons like that.
Perkins Motors was a big GM dealership owned by Joe Perkins who owned Taggart Transport. He was a pretty big deal at GM at the time and one of the largest freight companies in Ontario.
The whole empire went belly up in the mid 90's.

Yeah, 72 ounces.... 5 lb's, and you have to eat the entire meal, not just the steak, to get it free.

o minute markCoil versus trailer
What do you think it will do to your 4 wheeler.
Think about the dummy that took 12min to back in, what if he decides to pull a flatbed instead.

Now I'm getting nostalgic ...
You're getting this close to me having an actual desire to get behind the wheel again.

Never did understand the logic of those axles.
Yah, I understand the axle weight thing but it's nothing you can't do by sliding the tandems.

121" is the real key number for a spread. Ten feet makes each Axel treated as a single Axel and can weighted to 20,000# X2 = 40,000# on the spead . Tandem Axel set are only allowed 34,000#. 80,000# normal gross weight breaks down to 12,000# steer, 34,000# drives, 34,000# trailer tandem. With a spread Axel trailer breaks down 12,000# steer, 34,000# drives, 40,000# on the spread, which adds up to 86,000# without going over on a Axel which gives some leeway on where you decide to set that 50,000# pound coil on the trailer, because you are not moving it without a crane or really big forklift.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
The longer the pin or hitch to axle length the easier it is.

That 9' spread was called a Michigan Spread and that was the only place it did you any good. I believe you could exceed 80,000 with it in Mi.
