Hi wyod,
Are you sure you can use the 35+5? That is a huge trailer. If your not going to add a sleeper at the front of the deck over, then I sure would cut back on my length as even my 27+5(40ft overall) can't be loaded full of tractors and keep with-in the GVWR. Add larger tractors for max GVW then you will have allot of vacant deck space left over. So you just can't win either way.
W/o a sleeper(mini-RV) then a 20+5 would be ideal for length for both Interstate use and chasing new stock. You won't believe how many "farmers" have small driveways too there ranch... lol
Then there's the GCWR problem if your trying to use a 1-ton DRW. 30kGCW is just too much load weight for a 1-ton DRW as far a being cost effective. My clutch is the weakest link on my F350 DRW and Ford uses that clutch even on the F550.
If your going to OTR full time, you may start out with a 1-ton DRW but you will quickly find you need a F650 or more for OTR use too keep costs down. You can buy a real OTR tractor with double OD for less than keeping a 1-ton OTR.
Call the guy for his current inventory and pricing as none of those mfg keep rolling stock available. They all ship too there dealers just as fast as they can build them.
Be sure too get the Dexter forward self adjusting brakes. Get the 3rd ramp as you can't build it for what he wants for it. You'll really like them

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
