    The weights I posted are for a 265 psi tank. ( I checked when I came in today )
    For the life of me, I can't find a dry weight stamp anywhere, believe me I looked at every stamp on the tank.

    Should be on data plate. It's on here. And I've seen them on older trailers. Some trailers have 2. One by the landing gear. And the other in the normal spot.

    Depends on what state your in, you might look at spread or three axle to get more payload. where i'm at we don't have to run much interstate between terminals and the locations we deliver to, so we started getting tree axle plus pusher on truck. In Iowa we can go up to 96000 on 7 axles. I can scale 50000 of ammonia per load, but have to stay off of interstate. don't know if that would be an option.

    I'm limited I don't own the bottles. Yard was filled with tandems and from what I heard many contractors have been pushing for spreads when the trailer go in for a rebuild but since they can't bridge anymore they are always rebuilt into tandems.

    I dropped the truck on a grain scale yesterday 1/4 tank in the driver and my 15 gallon reserve in the pas. Tank truck weighed 19160 with me off it.

    My orientation didn't go quite as expected but hey that's how it goes at times get a few things in line and hopefully start by Friday. If not there's always next week I suppose.

    So I just looked at both plates while I'm waiting on the lab and neither plate has a weight. I'll post a pic tomorrow when it's light outside and I don't have 4 security cameras pointed at me.

    It may be wore off or might just be old enough there isn't a tare on that trailer. looking through what was on the lot yesterday 3/4 of the plates on our equipment is so worn it could barely be read.

    It's a brand new countryside 331. I can't find the tare weight, maybe someone else will see it and I'll look like an idiot. IMG_4873.JPG IMG_4874.JPG

    All be ###### if I can find where it lists a tare weight. However I did read it said max load weight 46400lbs. So if one takes 65000 and subtracts the 46400 max load that leaves us with a tare weight of 23600lbs.

    Who knows I will say if that is the case and that's a 23.5k bottle country side is a little off their 21.5k weight estimate they came up with on their website

    Or you could go get you a top of the line westmor. Few companies have them. They must be expensive.

    I wouldn't doubt it. They have a countryside listed on truck paper, and a polar on truck paper brand new tandem 265psi at 125k or there abouts.
