What would the load weight/combo weight be for a truck/trucks trailer combo with this many axles be? There was a pusher truck that was disconneted and parked in the front. I know how much it cost to get through WY because I was standing next to the guy in the port of WY when they gave him the amount to pay. Lets just say it was more than I make in a month.

That's kewl, any idea how long it is?!?!

No idea, but they did park it on an on ramp at Sheridan WY, diconnected their trucks and drove to a hotel for the night. They just happened to be on the other side of the parking lot from me at the hotel.

I don't see any pics?

Thats insane! I saw one like that hauling a Transformer for comed in Illinois

Never seen something that epic before! Like right out of a Transformers movie indeed! I really don't have any idea what the load or combo weight limit for that thing is, but it's pretty cool looking.

Your getting way up there in weight. I've pulled 110,000lbs but these trucks are set up for alot more. Like 250,000 to 350,000, I'd be guessing. I do know that when you get up over 150,000lbs you have to have an engineering study done on the route you'll be taking. You're talking big bucks here, even for the driver. The problem is these types of loads don't come around very often.

My guess: He's in the neighbor hood of potentially grossing 270K to 360K + if I figure that right.
triple axle 45K or 60K each set X 6 sets (assuming his drives are triple?) and 12K or 22K for a steer.
Not saying he is allowed to gross that much, I actually have no idea. But, just adding up the axles that's what I count. Your mileage may vary.
Like to know if thats a 12'w trailer, or what the deck is on that big guy.
I wouldn't wanna haul that, no way. I wouldn't wanna haul the #### thing back empty even after its been stacked up to stowed mode and ready to go home. It's still over sized even empty I'd bet ya. -
What is that thing? A block of solid lead?

I have no idea what it is. I didn't see anything on the sides that would have told me. Just a buch of numbers that to me seemed random but to someone else they meant something. I saw two of these loads that were this big when I went to Alaska. This was one, the other was a complete Cat loader in Canada with two Gold colored KW T800W, one pushing and one pulling.
