You don't always drive slow with heavy haul. 160,000 of logs drives fine at 68mph.

5 axle gross weight in Canada: 88,000 lbs
6 axle gross weight in Canada: 100,600 lbs
8 axle gross weight in Canada: 137,800 lbs
"Heavy haul" starts at 150,000+
More weight just takes longer to get up to speed and longer to slow down.TripleSix, MartinFromBC, Canadianhauler21 and 5 others Thank this. -
