pulling const equipment questions

hello all, i have a 98 3500 ( the heavier gvw) and was going to be using it to bring home equipment to work on my house project. has anyone hauled that much weight on these a lot? the D4 dozer is about 19,000lbs and the backhoe is about 17,000lbs. i just converted my auto to a stick and i think it has plenty of power to do what i want. the trailer is a 3500lb big tex tandem doolie. i have hauled trucks and smaller equipment around on it before (about 8000lbs) and it did awsome, and thats before the mods. is there any legal issues hauling this much weight with my pickup? ( about 30,000lbs) just curious because im towing through big citys and dont want trouble with the law.

thanks a bunch

matt
