    Meanwhile in Alabama...
    Vehicles Constructed for Special Types of Work: Dump trucks, dump trailers, concrete mixing trucks, fuel oil trucks, gasoline trucks, and trucks designated and constructed for special types work or use do not need to conform with the axle spacing requirements specified by the State bridge formula. These vehicles are limited to a weight of 20,000 lbs. per axle plus scale tolerances(10%), provided that the maximum gross weight does not exceed State limits(84k on 6 or more axles on state roads) and all axles are brake equipped (Ala. Code §32-9-20[a][4][e]).
