Nationwide permits proposed

Speced weird for one state fits a niche in another state.

 

I understand that especially since I just ordered one. However I agree that some equipment would be useless but a whole lot more would become useful.

 

I vote we go with west coast rules - no quads or east coast boosters.....

 

East coast booster I probably agree at least nothing more than 3+1 but definitely allow quads.

 

I have a little money tied up in west coast equipment and quads would severely reduce the overall amount of available loads. Not to mention rates.... just simple personal interest

 

I understand that completely, but the idea that you can load 100,000 on 8 axles and no pilots and take that load across most of the country and can’t enter a couple states in the West is crazy. There’s plenty of benefit to you, it would eliminate the 20,000 pound states that plague you.

 

Hard to say what they would do - maybe establish all axles at 20k. -so I would get it from both sides. If I didn’t own a California set up - I would be ok with the idea of running a steerable quad setup like the euro guys do.

I would love to have a nitro booster to load my booster up in certain situations ...

 

The proposal they have submitted would allow you 218,000 on 10 (if I remember right)

 

Probably

20 46 46 60 46

Except I am a 60/40 trailer so I would max at 212000

Which is exactly The gross I used in spec’ing my tractor

And would only exceed my trailer rating by about 6000 lbs (130,000 in 12’ and day am around 76-77k empty)

Any idea what they are proposing for axle group to axle group minimum spacing? 10’ 12’ 14’ ?

 

13’7” between groups and 4’6” in the group.
