    You have 3080lbs differerence between your drives and trailer. If loading a 60000lb object, you would need to be extremely precise on the loading because you would be maxing out everything. It wouldn't be 12000/34000/34000 or 40000/GVW80000, it would be 13000/40000/40000/GVW93000 with a single object non divisible load. Some states will allow more weight, but as a whole, usually that's the limit for the normal 5 axle rig.

    Most states limit the front end to 13,000? I know Ohio is based on tire width and rating, we can get 800 pounds per inch. I thought he states around me were similar.

    Most states are 600-650 per inch and then the axle has to be rated for it. Run 385 steers (14.5" wide) and good for 9400 per steer or 18800 total @650

    I wasn't busting your chops, I was just curious. I'm used to Ohio, we have some stupid laws and some good ones.
