We can run more weight per axle here than it seems American trucks are allowed.
But we also tend to just keep adding more axles, much more than you do south of the 49.
Super B trucks are a regular sight on our hwys, as are tri drive trucks. Most everyone here runs a minimum of 6 axles, 5 is rare. But 7 and 8 axle make up a good percentage of what you see on the road here. Less trucks seem to drive coast to coast up here, than there. Things arriving by ship seem to often come into both sides of the country, and if it has to go all the way across, there is a decent chance it will go by train most of the way, and trucked the last bit. About 5 years ago I spent 3 days a week, for 4 months, hauling logs that came by train, to a railway siding, where a button top would transfer them to my truck, and many others, we then hauled those logs a measly 9 kms to the mill, and just went back and forth. It was hell, I was so bored. Thankfully the other 3 days a week I hauled fuel in a Super B to a mine, which was in the middle of nowhere.Last edited: Dec 3, 2021
