John, I haul my superC (WFE) and BN on a 20+5 deckover gooseneck behind a Ram 3500 (SRW) and Cummins and 6-speed handshaker. The trailer has two 7k single-wheel axles under it, and weighs a shade over 5k on it's own. Works well and goes down the road good. my full load is about 8k of pickup and 11/12k of trailer.

You'll likely need more trailer than I've got. A bare-bones M is about 5k before adding in common attachments like wheel weights and the like that can add up quickly. You'd likely want a longer deck, too, unless both tractors are NFs, in which case you *might* be able to angle them both on, nose by nose, but I'd think that extra 5' of flat deck would be useful. But by then you're over my 14k limit and the next step up is two 10k tandem axles. That would give you plenty of capacity, if you figure a 5' longer trailer (at, say 5500#), and still have capacity for 14k or better of tractor, more than enough for a couple of Ms.

I'd take the tandems over a triple-axle, fer sure.
