Above that you have to pay expensive permits.
You pay by length, width and height (that is not expensive, max 1usd per mille).
You pay by each axle or axle group overweight, that goes exponential....and total weight overweight, also exponential untill 200t grossweight, after that is linear again.
example, if you load 705.500 lbs of cargo, which is max for this trailer, on flat 2 tractors are enough.
you will use 4 tractors when climbing 3000ft vertical due tire and truck wear.
our stupid law require 4kw/t, so additional service truck "would be involved in pulling" alongside with other 4 tractor, you will pay permit for all 5 trucks and trailer combined weight.
for 705k lbs cargo and combined all trucks permit will cost about 1030 usd per mille. what is strange at our law, at certain points it is better to have 44k weight per axle like in case described up, rather than have higher gross weight and lower axle weight. most countries will prefer you to load same weight on two groups with less axle overload rather than one group with higher overload, here it is opposite.

from 1995 to 2018, 3 pedal OPC did not use clutch while shifting, that was slow and caused syncros to die early.
since late 2009 they offered 2clutch OPC that use clutch when shifting was faster smoother no excessive wear.
from nextgen they offer transmission without syncros on OPC. 3 pedal version is non syncro too.
mb had it from 1996 to end of mp3 (last year) AMT with syncros, which used clutch while shifting, it worked best of any transmission when it is "speed disoriented"spsauerland and daf105paccar Thank this. -
