Axle weights

I believe 40k allowed on the spread ...but more knowledgeable guys told me its possible to overweight them even being under 40 on axles and below 80 overall
I think you should be ok with your numbers
I think if one of the trailer axles 21 - its already violation

 

A 10 foot spread is 2 20K axles.

You can be legal on all axles (12, 34, 20, 20) and be over 80K total.

 

Doubt that ....last time i got overweight ticket in ga for trailer axle overweight 1k on the spread , overall i had 79.9 .
According to your math you can run 86k when registered for 80

 

He said you could be axle legal. Didn’t say over 80 was legal.

That’s where having a spread is advantageous. You could be 12-30-20-20 and be legal. You can’t put 40k on a closed spread tandem.

 

Sorry bad math. 12-28-20-20. Or any combination thereof to equal 80 is my understanding anyways. Maybe I’m wrong?

 

Axle weights vs bridge weights.

 

If it’s a 48ft trailer you’d bridge out at about 84k gross in a bridge state. Need at least a 51ft trailer to be able to bridge 86k gross if my memory is correct. Useless info, but I’m bored. Lol.
