Axle weight distribution on an oversize load - Question

I never said 5 axle gets 130k . Only super b-trains can bridge 130k . 117k is 48/28 combo . UPS/FEDEX / MME/ most ltl carriers and some TL run.

 

You never specified in your post a super b can't even get 130k all you can get in Wyoming legal is 117k and you have to be licensed for that. Yes I love doing super loads talk about a pain in the ### but the money is good. I'm done with this argument as it seems we are both to hardheaded so have a nice day and keep thinking you can get those weights on a spread.

Not 100% sure, will check our permits in the morn. I do believe our NC annual blanket allows 25k on single & 50K on tandems. Will post either way.

 

so a 3 axle tractor and a 3 axle 30ft well rgn the max weight it should carry is a load of 60k with the empty weight of 37,500 ? ran alot of oversize just not that much heavy.....

 

Depends on what states your in but you should be able to get almost 75k if you can get it to axle. 60 on the triple 40 on the tandem and up to 20 or 25 on the steer although most road tractors are hard pressed to get more than 12 on the steer. That's 112 total subtract your tare and you get 74500.

 

Thanks for the reply, tire rating on steers is the killer..probably 70k would be safe for my setup..

 

Your tires and axle aren't rated for 12k? That's pretty standard anymore. 70k would probably be easier to scale I was just helping with options.
