Hauling Paydirt in Alaska

Unless something has changed since January and ITD hasn’t updated their information.

 

It's 4 on the truck & 4 on the trailer.
It's the wheel base that permits the 105.5k bridge on 8 axle wb. 10,10,34-17,34 @ 60ft.

 

Never seen a truck be able to bridge that in OR. Even United Hauling and VanDyke can’t do 105 with their long trucks because they can’t get weight on the steer with their big lift axle spreads on the truck. I could gross the same as them with a 244” T800 because I was carrying right at 12k on the steer and had a 56ft 7 axle bridge. I ran my 5th wheel centered over the front drive axle. Those guys that run a 12ft spread on their lift are forward of center to try and get weight forward, so they might have a 57 or 58ft inner bridge but they’re not carrying weight on their steer axle.

 

I don't know what to tell you but I drove 105.5k combinations in Oregon for +30 yrs. Here's a maxi that I hauled 105 daily.

 

Ok you’re talking trains. That’s why I asked and you said 4 on the truck and 4 on the trailer. I’m talking a 53 quad not an A train with 68ft of length.

 

Then yes on a semi no 105. Usually 103 or so. Sorry for the confusion. DOT would try and get the trains on the #4-#6 inside bridge axle group. The 4&4 was a truck & pup gravel set up.

 

my son in arizona hauls 80k in a dump truck not a semi with 7 axles on the ground year round

 

That is one weird looking dump truck
