    @passingthru69 what is your empty weight for the biggest combination that you pull?

    Get to know Part 393 Subsection I like the back of your hand. Then take what it says and double it.

    137,500 lbs is every day work for Super-B drivers in Canada.

    I'd say 75 ton is the starting point of "heavy haul". When you need a booster or a jeep, it's "heavy".

    Apparently the dictionary doesn't even really define it. Other than oversize and heavy. And no two people here have given the same answer. So apparently it's whatever the hell you want it to be.

    He was 72k empty on 10 axles and I am Close enough to qualify at between 77-78k it but 81-83k if I pull a 3 axle jeep.

    I think with his 13 axle set up he was in the mid 90s empty

    Jumbo was asking about Carl's "biggest" combination, if I remember right he's 84,000 and change with that black trailer.
