So running through this bridge formula about 16 times i think i finally figured it out!
6 Axles, 61 Feet spacing between the front and rear axle.
LN=366
N-1=5
Total 73.2
12N=72+36=108=73.2=181.2.
500x181.2=90,600LB.
Does this make sense now or did i mess up? What would I be limited to, still 80,000lb? This is a lowboy and a heavy haul tri-axle truck. 20K fronts and 46K rears and the lowboy has 25K rating on 3 axles.
Thanks for the help!

You may just be on the right track, but:
What state are you running in?
Are you running interstate's or state roads?
What size are your front tires? -
You're looking at legal axle weights. Now, find out how much you can pack with an Overweight Permit.
-
But you can only be overweight if your load is not reducible just one single piece. Usually you can pack 60k and 60k plus whatever you can get on your steers.

How's the rig moving in your part of the world?
Though you might enjoy. Probaly pulling a couple hundred tons.

Rig moving is really kicking. That video is cool I've seen it before though. Still busy in canuckland?

Slowed right down due to extremely warm weather. Road bans on in some area and the Golf Ciurse fown at taber has be open since late January. I'm 70 and have never experienced anything like this.

I have the big floater front tires i think 425 or 455x22.5 i dont remember off hand. I'm running interstate but based out of New York (long island) and mainly east coast out to illinois the farthest west. Oversized load wise i'm sure with that setup i could easily pull the 100K trailer limit.

I don't think you'll ever get 100k on the deck just not enough axles. If you max right out you can get 140 gross but I've never seen a 4 axle long wheelbase truck get over 14 on the steer so that limits you to 134. Your lightweight is probaly between 42 and 48 so that gives you between 86 and 92 on the deck but it's hard to get proper placement to max axle weights so your probably safer with under 82 on the deck.

I'd heard it was slow with the warm weather. We've got early bans on in ND too.
