The mailbox letter advertising is a nice touch. Real "professional" and makes you want to do business with an outfit that couldn't be bothered to spring $100 for some vinyl in a nice font.
Using snowmobile trailer tires is probably not the best idea when you're going to be traveling long distances. They tend to burn up wheel bearings because the wheels are spinning so fast.
I'm sure the wheels are sprung so they only carry so much weight putting less weight on the bearings but they certainly could heat up. I'm not sure what effect the tag axle has when backing the vehicle and reverse steering. I could also see an issue when negotiating tight turns, berms in the road causing one or the other axle to be airborne. Probably not good when the tag axle is on the ground and the drive axle is in the air. If you are carrying a TC heavy enough to warrant a tag axle, you probably aren't driving back roads and sticking to pavement. For some folks, it may serve a purpose.
