Depends on the state, in Ohio the max legal limit is 20k on a single axle and all they care about is the width of tire. On my permits you can put 20k on a 12k steer axle as long as you don't exceed 800# per inch of tire.

Correct, but most do it even with duals if they're going to haul heavy. Goes with this option.

Even if you're only grossing 80k it makes a huge difference in how the trailer handles.

I bet they ride nice, should take less pressure to support the same load

Not the purpose, two bags won't lift some of the loads they haul.

any of you drivers ever use power landing gear systems..dry freight box trlrs with a drop frame. use them to lift them to dock heights. just wondering cuz I used to repair them. they go in between the rear tandem on the trlr.
btw..why don't they have a better way for landing gear than that f'n crank on the trlr..I hate them fkers..why aint they got air or electric mtrs on em

I'd be curious to see one or a link to really understand what you are talking about. I've seen trailer with legs at the rear but they were flat/drop decks. Any sort of van trailer I've just seen the ramps at loading docks that accommodate for different Heights if needed.
There are powered landing gear options for goosenecks, with semi trailers you don't really have to crank the actual trailer much, if ever, unless you don't have an air dump(assuming you have air ride), or have trucks with different 5th wheel Heights, or have dumb drivers. The latter is usually the most common denominator which leads to the guys that just put it in high range reverse, lock the axles, and slam it under to avoid cranking. The same guys are usually the high hookers too.
If you have your own trucks and trailers with decent drivers, it's pretty rare you ever have to actually crank any sort of load. I can't remember the last time I had to put any of ours into low range.

I like trucks like this much more than trucks that look like the crashed into a chrome shop. This truck has got some chrome and stainless but not over the top. Just enough to look classy!

Our pulling trailer has those, never used them but do know they make a nice spark show when one cylinder leaks off going down the road.
