1 grease your goose neck ball 2 get your trailer wiring off your tailgate. DOT friction point. 3 never put your breakaway trailer cable on the same location as your safety chains. 4 STAY out od North Carolina. They don't like non CDL hotshots. They say any combination over 10,001 requires a CDL. 5 make sure your tag registration is set up to 26K. If not big over weight DOT fine. 6 carry 2 spares for trailer, wheel bearing sets, 1 leaf spring. 1 oil/grease hub cap. 6 make this hotshot thing temporary. These trucks are not meant to last over the road constantly hauling. 7 good luck, your gonna need it fella..

If you're planning on doing this I would suggest at lease removing tour rear seat and build a bed back there. There are videos showing how to do it. If its raised off the floor you will have storage under your bed.

Gotcha. keep in mind you need good rest when you're on the road. There have been some folks cut a piece of plywood to set on the seat but wider with a couple of legs to support it then a piece of memory foam. You wouldn't have to attach it and it could be removed easily when you're home.

Aye homie, just my understanding. Your truck gvwr is 10,000 and trailer is rated for 14,000=24,000-16,060=7,940lbs. You're trailer gvwr should be rated for 16,000lbs. That you give you 2000lbs more to put on the deck. I hope this gives you a better understanding. Good luck
