Hauling Cars

I started hauling cars when I retired 5 yrs ago. My experience is you are much better off to limit your self to 2 cars. When hauling 3 there are two factors that make a big difference. (1.) is the length of the trailer (48' with flip outs for 53'). I can jack knife my 32 foot gooseneck on little more than a two lane road but you won't do it with a 48'. (2.) is 3 axle versus 2 axle. I have talked to several guys on the road that regret buying a 3 axle. Around corners and turn arounds you are always sliding an axle and you wear out tires much quicker than a 2 axle.
There was a terrible accident on the PA turnpike and we all came to a haul to allow Emergency vehicles to access the scene. While we were out of our trucks a guy comes up and says is my two car hauler for sale? I said maybe, he calls a friend on his cell and the guy offers to trade a brand new 48' triple, new tires, tool box, chains and straps even up for my 8 yr old 32 2 car 2 axle tilt bed gooseneck. Both trailers included winches. The guy had bought the new 48' one year earlier and smashed the side of his daughter's car turning around to leave his property. He used it two more times and parked it, would not pull it again.
A friend at the tire store is a weekend drag racer, two cars, they use a 38' triple axle enclosed tag trailer. He asked how many miles I was getting on my trailer tires. I said no problem. I pick up alot of road hazzards but they go alot of miles. He said they are changing tires about every year because of flat spots from sliding the tires and they only race on the weekends.
A 35' wedge gooseneck is only about 30' behind the bumper, it turns on a dime, you are within the weight range for your truck and the trucks with disc brakes front and rear will help stop the rig within a reasonable distance.
