I pulled one from West Virginia to NY with no problems. They do bounce but with only 40 mile you should be fine. Just remember they are wider than your truck. I curb mine more than once.

They definitely bounce a bit. Not really a big deal though.

Bring along a portable air compressor and you can take the pressure down to 25 psi when empty. They do not bounce at that pressure. Use compressure to reinflate for tow duty.
