    20K on the steer ? With rated tires, yes, such as heavy haul or cement mixers. Not run of the mill class 8 power. Now you know !

    Truck equipment, (tire width, tire load rating and axle rating on door jamb.) will almost always limit your front axle on the truck long before the federal/state weight limit is reached.

    Are 12K steers typical for a Class 8 truck?
