Let me guess... you own a MDT or an HDT ?
Anyone that knows anything about hauling knows that trailers are supposed to stop themselves. That is why they put brakes on them.
A highway tractor weighing 20,000 pounds easily handles setups with GCWs of 120,000 pounds. There is nothing wrong with using a 7500 pound pickup truck on a setup with a GCW of 20-30,000 pounds. You don't need a medium duty truck if the trailer is set up properly.
