    I got a roll off straight truck that is 35 feet long with 3 axels. 1st to 2ed axel is 21 feet. 4 feet axel 2 to axel 3. Total of 25 feet from axel 1 to axel 3. The truck is registered for 66k. Every rental company has them at 66k. Bridge formula say 54k. How is this the case? Is there an exception or am i reading it all wrong?

    They can tag it for whatever they want. Unless there’s an exception in Texas law for that type of truck like MD has for dump trucks, you’re subject to the bridge table.

    Look at the state rules too, I know NJ has 10 wheel dumps licensed for way over federal bridge formula but the contractor has to move them, job to job MT but they can haul that way on the roads around the job site...

    do your research.
