Seen a couple of trucks running 20 ft as doubles in GA/FL, similar to a fedex style setup but with normal tandem axle port chassis and a dolly.
Whats the legality of that? we are talking 8 axles.

They can pretty much go anywhere with anything that will fit inside each pup. Provided there is no prohibition against doubles etc.
There is nothing much to worry about legally. Now if you can get twice the pay pulling two trucks.. /tease -
Ok, so whats the weight rating then on 8 axles? or 9 axles if you run two tri axles and no dolly.
-
The only combination that allows two triaxles with no dolly is a Michigan B train.
It is better to put up a picture of the exact truck we are dealing with here. There is a range of possibilities with the Weight formula.S.V.Buyck Thanks this. -
This chassis. With another tri axle. Obviosuly not legal in GA/FL then

This one is a b-train style, the ones Ive seen in FL/GA are fedex style with a dolly/convertor. No way to run a b train outside of Michigan/Canada obviously?

That's right starmac. Pulled 38 ft. B trains in pnw, chips, flats, cans. Handle good, loads well and can back them up.
