New TN weight laws

We call two short axles side by each "wheelers".
If TN starts allowing wheelers, they'd be landlocked wouldn't they? I don't believe any states east of the Mississippi allow them, or am I wrong?

 

American Crane and transport has a small article about it last month, they're going to start allowing 46,000 on a tandem and 23,000 on a single. Still 60,000 on a tri axle and so on. They currently only allow 40,000 on a tandem and 20,000 on a single. I couldn't find the article but here's the legislation.

 

Yes, will be great for the trunion guys, but like posted prior, you are kinda land locked. As the surrounding states to my understanding don't allow them.
Also Ia. changed their rules the other week as well..

 

I don't think Tennessee is allowing them either just more weight on singles and tandems. I could and may be wrong.

 

Yea, just read that part. No part of the trl. or axle to exceed 10'
Now what about the dual lane trls. and 19axle setups.
There must be a clause somewhere that allows them

 

You know I have no idea, I assumed 19 axles have always ran there. I've been down through there with my old west coast 9 a bunch of times but we just permitted it 13,000 on the steer and 20 on the rest of the axles.

 

Yea, 19's do run there and my buddy at Miller has done it. I know those axles are wider than 10.
But they may hold them on the 20k per axle like they have always done

 

No cap on overall gross weight? Could be good for me in the future if I find that state....
