Load is 47,429, is this legal? Can I even scale it?

They have special lightweight dry vans that can scale an extra 2-3,000 lbs. I bugged out one time when I saw bills with 46-47k but those newer lightweight vans with the super singles and aluminum and composite everything can scale some pretty heavy loads.

 

If you have issues getting that on any van, somethings wrong! With my last 53' reefer and a SilverStar, I could get 46K on as long as I was light on fuel.

 

Seems like a 43-44k load puts gross at around 77-78k with a regular nothing special dry van and typical fleet spec sleeper tractor so you could probably push it up to 48-49k with a lightweight van if you go all the way up to max gross.

 

When I was at Stevens Transport we were contracted to haul 46,000 lbs for Tropicana out of Bradenton, FL. So when we were dispatched on a FL load, we were instructed to have no more than 75 gallons of fuel upon being empty for that customer.

 

Company pays for scales. And ever load creeps around 40,000 yes.
