    Well that is a new one by me, never heard of an Idaho spread. But I will tell you this... If I remember correctly you can run 105.5k with that setup in Idaho... if it is loaded right. I'd have to do a little asking around to be sure... But I do remember there was a tanker I used to load with Liquid Fertilizer that had that setup, and I'm almost certain he could gross 105.5k... But I cant remember if he had a pusher on the tractor or not.

    Yes, your need a pusher on the truck, and then you STILL can't bridge 105,500 under Oregon's "proprietary" bridge formula. Because, Oregon's "special".

    It's more commonly referred to as a "maxi". Never heard it called an Idaho spread.
