Jordy Great idea and I thought about that, but would make it more complicated to install steering axles.

Joe and Jason. I think I'll go with your suggestion tandem front and back, What I think I'll do is make the box a 20 footer but keep the full length trailer. I'll put the box centered on the trailer like a transfer, but have it dump at the back. Should be able to build a screw drive that will move it to the back and then dump. here's an idea, What do you think.

Sorry for the poor image. Hard to see with white background.
