    If I register my truck for 86,000 does it apply to all the states or only certain ones?
    Thanks

    If over 80k you would probably need permits

    Trying to get 12-34-40 on your spread?
    If this is what you are running.... 5 axle with 10'1" spread.. (and assuming these are not permit loads)

    You would have to pay higher irp fee for whichever states that allow more weight. Only run on interstates in nm,wa,wy, when above 80k. Look in the front of the atlas, it says which states allow more weight for their state routes, as long as you don't go over that or weigh more than registered you should be good to go.

    You can register truck for 86000 gross weight but as far as I know not all states recognize it.

    This is where these charts come into play. Gotta do your homework, don't confuse first page for interstate weight limits and second page for what state routes allow. I imagine mistakes get real expensive real quick.

    Sure you can, I have trucks registered at 100k but you need the axles to go up to that weight.

    Yes, exactly. There might be an occasional load where I could use extra GVWR

    You can probably only bridge around 84k. Check that as well. In Idaho one must purchase an excess weight permit for divisible loads, or overweight permit for non-divisible loads. Both can be obtained on an annual basis and are reasonably priced if traveling through frequently. This is in addition to the registered weight on your registration.

    i don't think you can apply it to all states, i register 105,500 lbs for nd, sd, mt, sk, mb and can run that weight on state hwys in those jurisdictions. then then buy a annual permit for i-94/29

    laws vary so much from state to state, it would be very hard to just do a blanket overweight registration and not be just wasting money. some states i don't think will even allow you to register higher than 80k

    also if you are trying to get 86k on 5 axles with a spread be very carefull, a lot of states will measure your outer bridge as well as your axle groups so keep that in mind.
