Default Class 8 towing (pics)

I have been thinking about buying a class 8 truck prob Peterbilt or Kenworth to tow my 36 Spectre and my enclosed race car trailer. Both are set up as a tag and would prob just fabricate a hitch set up on the truck vs using 5th wheel. Anyone have any fairly current pictures of any rigs doing this? I want to get some ideas. Thanks

I personally avoid towing a Tag over a Gooseneck or Fifth wheel if at all possible. There is a night and day difference. If you are using a Tag I personally do not feel there will be enough weight on the rear of a Class 8 Truck.............

Yea def not the ideal weight distribution on the tractor as they currentlt set, Ive pulled a few before with my old trucks (had a few Petes in my small trucking business) and they pulled pretty good with a few set up mods.
