Trucking: Dodge Ram 3500 SRW, dodge ram 3500, bob stephens

Question
Can I use this vehicle to pull hot shot loads? If yes:
1. How much weight can I haul.
2. What would be the recommended goose neck trailer length.
3. What percent loads will I loose?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Answer
Hi Ron.

I would check with Dodge for specifics on towing capacity, but you should be able to tow about 16,000 pounds if properly equipped.  Can you pull a hot shot?  Absolutely!  

The trailer length depends on what your going to haul.  Guys with car haulers can go 40' or longer.  If your hauling heavy equipment, you might only pull a 26 foot trailer.  It all depends on what you haul.

I'm not sure what you mean with your final question.  I assume you mean "lose", but even then, I'm not sure what you mean by losing loads.  You should never lose a load on a trailer, it should always properly secured.  If not, you won't be in business long.

Good luck!
