    97,000 is quite a lot. In Kansas can only go 85.500 hence the problem with the live bottoms weight.

    97,000 is a lot. What states are you running 97,000 permitted in? I'm always looking to learn something new

    I'm not sure how you're hauling 97,000 gross in Kansas. How many axels do you have on trailer?

    I pulled a triple axle pot and could not get Kansas to let me register for more than 85,500.

    I've never heard of anything higher than 85,500 either kinda why I was questioning that.

    I been trying to figure out all day how he is doing the load of corn at 159,000? Is it just me or am I missing something here?
