Discussion about weight and # of miles driven in a year

Now we all know speed dont kill, its that "oh ####" stop that will do you in.
Jack Roush crashing another plane and defying death again, can he go for 3?

 

Now here in ohio my permits give me a gross of 114k on five axles and 55mph.

 

I would quit flying. Get a bus.

 

Gross weight and axle weight are different. You are permitted to haul more weight but nothing can change the max per axle. Therefore, permitted for more weight means you must have the correct equipment to do so.

 

One of these days the "cat in the hat" is gonna jump out and leave Jack on his own LMOA

 

In the Northwest of the US, five-axle rigs routinely run upward of 92K. In Oregon, we call them Chip Haulers. My tractor is set up to haul that...it has to do with suspension and strength of running gear....the experts can better 'splenn that one than I can. I said the truck is rated for 92K, but licensed for 80K.

 

Down here they are mainly concerned with the steering axle. None of my permits state anything about tires or axle weight rating.

 

Is there not a 37400 max on a set of tandems?

 

What do you mean?

 

Max weight. Like on your drives, 14,000 on your steers, 37,400 on your drives and 37,400 on the tandem of a regular trailer, making your gross weight 88,400 no matter how much your permitted.
