Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

My 7 axle annual permit is good to 150,000 on the better roads, and down to about 115, on the lesser rated roads within the state. Idaho allows a lot of weight per group, but the mileage rate when getting real heavy gets expensive - like $.70 per mile. Up to 118,000 is $.04 per mile.

Wyoming allows 65k per tridem, and 55k per tandem without having to go through Cheyenne to get a super load permit. That's all for non-divisible loads. An excess weight permit for divisible loads allows 129,000, BUT, you have to have the axles and bridge to pack it. So, on my 7 axle I can axle and bridge about 95k. 5 axle with spread will get you around 84k.

On 80,000, without a permit on six axles, we're good to 43500 on the tridem in most places.

 

Oh they recognize it as a tridem
Yeah the cost is why I was wondering

 

I've considered getting a 48' with rear flip, but being mainly east of the Mississippi, little confusing on how kingpin - rear axle and length is treated from state to state.

 

It is confusing indeed. We primarily run just Idaho and Wyoming so I know what we can do there. When we start venturing out I have to research each state. States like Nebraska that only 20k per axle can be problematic with our set up if we are trying to haul over 85,000.

 

Don’t worry the DOT cops will let you know.

 

What the heck are those? Already sounds too complicated, I'll just stick with what works.

 

If you have a 3 axle trailer can you even permit it as single axles like 20,20,20 or or are you limited to whatever they give you as a tridem cause of the spacing

 

Depends on the state and what the axle spacing and ratings are.

Most states will allow 60K on a tridem permitted. Some of the western states will drop you lower if you don't have 60" spacing.

 

Fancy septic tanks going 150 miles up the road

 

What a crappy load
