Can you haul heavy with a 2axle spread?

I had a midroof volvo with a 48 foot spread axle ravens flat bed covered wagon, it will and did legally load 52000 in the form of one large coil on the middle of the deck. Rear axles 10.1 feet apart comes to 20K each back there, steers immaterial and the drives under 34K and alls well.

I would say you are not supposed to load heavy on tandems only 34K it will break on you. The one exception would be seacans where I have been so heavy that state scales could not add all of it. And those usually total the truck after the trip is completed. The amount of repairs make it cheaper just to junk it.

 

If you stay off the interstate and have the extra weight on your cab card in the states you will be running yes

 

Mass will permit 5 axles for 99,000 spread or not......

 

I think nearly any state will permit for 25% over

 

I ran a couple like that permitted from OH to Laredo with same setup. Worked in all states I passed through. If I remember correctly over 86 is when you start having problems on 5 axle, but I’m not to familiar with running heavy.

 

Back in the day, we thought we were running empty anytime we were paid by weight and grossed less than 100,000, I hauled one load that scaled out at 121,000. lol

 

If you're running 48, permitted...as long as it is a nondivisible load, you'll be fine. BTW, you're not heavy on a 5 axle until you go over 93k.

 

It’ll handle 86,000. Up here in the great white north we legally haul 87,300 on a standard five axle (tandem,tandem,steer), no spread.
