    Pretty self explanatory. I'm curious as to how much of a load those Tim Horton's trucks carry.

    Around here I see mostly 4-axle b-trains, but I have seen the odd single trailer.

    I 'believe' they do that so they can get to a destination and split them for deliveries.
    EG Not for the weight capacity.

    In the old days the stores did all the cooking themselves, so the transport of the raw materials could be heavy.
    Now the donuts are already baked and coatings are added and warmed up at the stores, making the goods much more bulky. Hence lighter transports.

    Frozen dough and buckets of fillers/store supplies add to the weight. No doubt they can max those wagons out

    No - it's a pretty straightforward question. If someone knew the answer because they had a buddy who once drove for Tim's, or worked at a Tim's store, or was an MTO scale operator that would have been close enough.
