In 05 when we started looking at the brand we were going to ignore MS units We had found several 36' rigs on dealer lots. On checking the data tags it was pretty obvious that there was almost no CCC (cargo carrying capacity) on them with the 7k axles and G rated tires. One unit had a whopping 600 lbs of load left over from empty. It wasn't until MS put the 8k axles and H rated tires that they got any real load capacity at all.

If you are looking at a unit with the lighter axle and tires, walk away from it unless you plan on leaving it in place.
