    These numbers are just using the Federal bridge formula, and are a max allowed provided all the inner bridges are in compliance as well. Just to give you a ballpark. *Individual results may vary.

    Depending on tare weight of the unit I believe that they can carry around 175-190,000ish payload weight...they are very heavy units and their tare weight is ridiculous

    Short answer "a bunch".

    But in all seriousness without knowing the configuration any guess on numbers would be almost a shot in the dark. Then what they could haul in one state is different than the next, that's why those guys don't even put the key in the ignition till they've spent weeks or more just doing the planning for a movement.
