I do have a solution for you, however, the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRC912 you referenced is not your best option.
Instead, take a look at the Buyers Products 2-5/16" Fabricators Flatbed Gooseneck Hitch # 3375613500. This heavy duty hitch is designed to be welded onto a 1/8 inch, or thicker, floor plate and has a much smaller footprint than the BWGNRC912. The hitch plate dimensions are 6 inches wide by 8 inches long. It has a capacity of 30,000 lbs as well. I've included the installation instructions to give you an idea of what it involves.
Using a gooseneck trailer to 5th wheel hitch adapter, like # BD0289650300, is another more practical option you may consider. This allows you to replace the inner tube on your gooseneck trailer to provide a connection for an industry standard 5th wheel hitch, which is what you should currently have on your Peterbilt semi. This option does nor require welding or any special fabrication on your part as it simply slides into the outer tube of your gooseneck trailer and secures in place with either set screws or pins, depending on the application. I have attached a link to our available selection for you to browse through. You'll find they range in capacity from 25,000 to 30,000 lbs.
