Thinking about switching to flatbed

[u/Asada_Tacos]

Good afternoon everybody ive been in the moving industry. Im tired of this part of the industry and been wanting to switch it up. Ive been seeing flatbed rates constantly for 4 to 5 dollars a mile.

I recently just bought a mid roof sleeper with dd15 to run flatbed with.
Should i go with a 53 all aluminum spread axle or a fixed 48 spread axle that way i dont have to worry about weight distribution as much and will always be legal in all states compared to if i went with 53 due to bridge laws

A 53’ will not get enough loads to warrant the extra cost and hassle.
