    Or...perhaps it stands for "Duh!" "Can't you see that block long piece of machinery hooked to my truck without this silly sign???"

    For us, we can carry more weight, 40,000 #'s vs. 34,000 #'s.

    It doesn't increase your gross (80,000), just that you can have 40,000 on the trailer, right?

    I think that it's more so to do with load distribution. Yes, you can have 40 on the spreads, but it still can't go over 80.

    By having a spread, it means you don't have to worry (as much) about distribution of cargo more. At least, that's my best guess.
