I can only speak for BC, and other places have different regulations. But in BC it is a minimum of 27% of whatever is on the drivers. It can be more than 27% as long as you don't exceed the weight limit of the axle and tires for their size, which varies greatly depending on the width of the steer tires. This particular truck wears a pair of 425 mm wide Michelins. Please don't ask me what that is in inches lol
Rolling across the scales yesterday we were 7,190 kgs on the steers, and were at about 95% fuel. Drive tires were 22,830 kgs so since we were literally allowed to just keep going and got the green light, I assume everything was good. Wasn't even asked to park and come in to show them my over width permit for being 11'2 wide, had 7 inches of track hanging off of each side of the 10' wide low bed. Pulling the Kline this trip, not the Knight, or Aspen.
Some info on lowbeds in BC Canada
