    yes the Bulkers are hopper bottom belly dumps, i've got the single tandem axle but would love to get a B-train super w/ tri axles , but that is just a wish so far, i have to haul my grain 4 hrs south to get it to an elevator LOL
    He who has not cruised the back country in a 6x6 , has not lived life to it's fullest
    A Mans level of mechanical education directly corresponds to the level pain suffered while getting it

      The new thing around here seems to be the 5 axle setup. Setup is lift,tri,lift . Hold a crap ton and is cheaper with insurance and plate with one trailer vs 2. Depending on the bulkiness but these setups can legally haul the same as the tandem doubles. Easier to back up too. B-train super w/ tri axles, you have an extra axle to carry more but you have extra weight too so not sure if it would be better or not. If your carring wheat midds or something really bulky the extra volume might be better? Then again I am dealling with Michigan laws and yours are probably different.

        I drove the 36ton capacity truck the Thursday and took a video of it. The truck is a '08 Kenworth T660 with a 475hp CAT C15 and 10spd auto-shift. Not only does this carry 50% more feed then our standard tandem axle 24ton capacity trailers but it also unloads over twice as fast with larger unloading augurs. It grosses out at 115,000lbs. It may be able to carry more but the feed physically don't fit.
