    How much can you get with 8 axles on the ground with a permit?

    Since I've been looking at wagons I have that handy (for WA at least)-
    54" spread on the trailer:
    3 = 133,977
    4 = 145,977
    3+1 = 155,977

    Interesting, do you run a big tire or duels on you pusher?

    Nope, single little one. A single 385 or 425 is pretty common on the daycabs, that gets 18/20k on the pusher if you can do it. You aren't supposed to run non self-steer pushers here.

    There is a local outfit that has a couple 5 axle daycabs (2 little tire pushers) and runs their Aspen 75t as a 3+2 short necked, I haven't heard how that works out for them.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.
