    Is that Reitnouer all aluminum??


    My 96 T6 with a 96x48 Transcraft combo was around 32,500. I could haul 48,000 lbs payload but had to run on the bottom half of the fuel tanks.

    But that's at the low end for Owens Corning. I pulled many loads from the plant in Jersey City. Their loads run anywhere from 48 to 53,000 lbs.

    I drive a T-800 KW with a 48' all aluminum Benson trailer(Guess which company I work for, LOL). My weight full of fuel is 31,750 lbs.

    As for the Owens Corning shingles loads, I had one out of Chicago and they argued with me for an hour thining they were gonna put 53,000 on me. I eventually won that argument which I consider great since the people arguing with me spoke broken English at best.
