WY will nail you for being over 20k on an axle even if you’re under 40k on the spread.
BC and AB also don’t recognize spread axles, they give you 20k for the group. I’m not sure about SK. They also don’t recognize lift axles, so if it can be manually lifted it has to be in the air in Western Canada.Last edited: Jul 6, 2019

So a 10'1" I had up north on a 48 foot with 40K on the back perfect 20 and 20 on the dot to the pound, throw a bible on there and it's overweight. And they will refuse to accept that?
I did just about all of my flat down south what with the pipe and the steel out of the midwest and the aluminum in Kentucky and a couple of other places that made coil out of it. (West of frederick has been shut down for years when the Indian Point Power Plan failed them.)
I recall hopping onto Vicksburg scales and it comes out pretty much on the dot. Not a word anywhere. Provided they can see a Gator between those axles back there... //tease
I generally dislike back heavy trailer dating from hauling full containers of ball bearings on the back of the tri axle chassis making for a great deal of gym work in the tractor for me. (Non power steering) -
Totally depends of what state you're in.

Here in the Peoples’ Repubic of MD they’ll let you run 70K on a tri-axle dump truck IF you pony up the extra dough for a dump service registration. It’s all about the money.
