    How much weight can one legally haul on a 40 foot flat with 3 axles? No spread, iirc its called a tridem?

    Whats the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle? What kind if tractor? Whats the spread on the axles of the tractor? The spread from the steer to the last trailer axle? What state are you in? What kinda roads are you running?

    That’s a vague question, are you talking gross or just on the tridem? What state? Etc etc etc.

    In ny, no spread on the axles, usually see it behind a daycab or sleeper for a steelhaul company around here. They also run 6 axle sleds to mich, and a couple 3 axle spreads too. This particular trailer, iirc, is on the cover of the nys coil endorsement handbook. Anyone around this area will know the company.

    It’s shorter, the federal bridge requires 51 external bridge to get 80,000 on 5, with a tri you can still axle 80,000 with less bridge.

    I was imagining that you could haul more weight than a spread axle, but i dont know. I know the same carrier has heavy haul permits because i see their 6 axle trailers out by rochester.
