    Take a good look at the photograph, what do you see?

    A license plate. This is a normal 10 x 4 tipper, not a mining truck.

    This is a mining truck:

    Probably because I see them driving up and down the highway. I highly doubt all these companies are running trucks illegally on the roadways.

    These trucks can have a payload from 55 tonne (121,000 lbs) to 65 tonne (143,000 lbs). The total weight of the truck is around 83 tonne (183,000 lbs) with 55 tonne payload. Which state allows these weight limits?

    My complements sir, you are a person with great style, class, and inner civilization.

    But I took up your recommendation, and I noticed that no state allows such weight limits on all of its roads. However, some states allow extra heavy trucks on certain highway intersections, of course with a special permit.
