That's a good deal and I wish we had that here for aggregates. For harvest we have an agricultural exemption that covers the product....fruit, grain, row crops etc... from initial point of harvest to first point of processing but after that it's just like anything else.
Loggers are also covered under the ag exemption...that includes ctl in the woods or on the landing because that's classed as preparation prior to transport...but as soon as the logs hit the sawmill or the chipper they're considered to be processed goods and regular rules apply.

Dump truck and pup. (Trailer)
Doubles. As in bellies or side dumps
Main and secondary. Main hauls more but secondary adds.
The ability to haul more weight.MACK E-6 and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -
You can gross 80K with a single screw that way because now you have 5 axles instead of the 4 you’d have pulling a longbox with it.Oxbow and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -
some trailers like end dumps and tankers i don't think can haul 80 because the bridge is too short.
More like 76.
in the western states. -
I have gotten tickets because of that with a dump trailer though. IIRC you need 36’ from the front drive to the rear trailer axle to be allowed 68K on both, and 51’ from the rear trailer to the steer for 80K.snowwy and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -
All I’ve seen from a friend locally is the Allison’s while the best auto, just make it easier for those that shouldn’t be in a truck to begin with to beat the #### out of it -
