I've done that many times, most recently a couple weeks ago when I bought a Dakon box on a 12 ton westendorf running gear an hour and a half into Iowa just off hwy 20. It swayed at 40mph, but ran arrow straight at 65 mph after applying ratchet strap "stiffeners".

Yes it does make the front tires drag around corners. That's why you can only do it with empty wagons.
All,
thanks for the input. i had messed around on the Iowa DOT's site awhile before I asked on here. I had also sat on hold on their phone service for 15 minutes before I hung up. I measured my current boxes and the box by itself is 12'. He said his measure 26' from front of front tire to back of back tire, so it'd be a matter of backing the first one up onto the trailer, zinging off the tires, and rolling it a lil further on the hubs, then pushing the second on on forward, and also zinging off the tires. I may do this if I decide to go get them. At least I'd then have them on my trailer versus dragging them home and potentially wrecking a tire, hub, other vehicle, etc.. We'll see.
