    I'm recommending a proper truck. Not saying the tractor is a compact. Bad wording on my part.

    You're looking at 7500-8500 lbs between tractor and trailer. Can the truck do it? Probably. Safely? Meh. God forbid you were to get into a serious accident you could be in a legal and financial shitstorm.
    Side note: I hope there's more than that 700# ratchet strap hold the tractor on.
