Question on a lift axle

You should be able to permit that load on 6 axles steer for what it/tires are rated for, up to 50 k on drives, 60 k on trailer. As previous poster explained, if you could run lift axle and balance trailer and drives/lift near 43 a piece, this would be considerably cheaper.

 

Apply for a Western Regional Permit for this load on 6 axles and see what happens lol!

 

with that bridge weight. probably.

bridge also depends on distance from front drive axle to last trailer axle. the longer the bridge, the heavier the weight.

i pulled a quad trailer with pusher on truck. that 4 axle trailer only allowed me 52k. if i pulled one of the 3 axle trailers i was only allowed 43.5

i hauled 100k for 6 months in the northwest. every state told me i had to be axle legal. i don't know how you guys are pulling 56 on 3 axles when every state told me NO.

it might be worth it also to look at bumping the numbers on your plate. i don't need heavy permits for wa, or, mt, nd, sd, wy. the plate is already registered for the heavy weight. i've also got idaho. but according to that state. you need both plate and annual.

 

Some of the states will say on the permit, if overweight ALL axles must be deployed. Or. will pop you in a heart beat. Plus WY.

 

Those numbers are for divisable loads. The OP is hauling a non divisable load.

 

I do believe you will be just fine on the 6 axles, but make sure they get your permits for 6 not 7 or you will have to run with it down.

 

On a non divisible permit can't you bridge 46000lbs on a tandem and 60000lbs on the triple? On a divisible it would be 43500 and 34000 except Wy they would be 36000 on the tandem and 42500 on the triple.

 

how do you know????

weight is weight. and has no defenition of cargo type.

that's what i was told i could haul. didn't matter what the load was. i couldn't haul more then the axles i had.
