    What's the tare? 34 ton is 10 ton, 20,000 more than a regular tractor trailer can do. Yes, probably, in the situation @Cat sdp was describing, a regular 80,000 truck probably could haul 26 ton. I don't know if he did doubles, but in guessing his all in weight was 114,000.

    The SLP trailer will load about 37,5 tons. These usually have 8mm Hardox in the bottom and 6mm in the sides so you can load rocks in them which doesn't seems to be the case for most US trailers.

    ČO JE VEĽA, TO JE VEĽA, ALE TOTO UŽ BOLO PRÍLIŠ

    Dohľadu nad bezpečnosťou na cestách sa intenzívne venujeme nepretržite a “bojujeme na všetkých frontoch”.

    Okrem kontroly vodičov osobných áut, policajti venujú veľkú pozornosť aj nákladným a súvisí s tým aj váženie vozidiel.

    Krajskí dopravní policajti si “posvietili na kamionistu”, ktorý to s hmotnosťou nákladu naozaj prehnal. Hnotnosť jeho vozidla s nákladom bola neuveriteľných 56 ton! Maximálnu povolenú hmotnosť teda prekročil “len” o 16 ton!


    A LOT IS A LOT BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH

    We are constantly engaged in monitoring road safety and “fighting on all fronts”.

    In addition to inspecting passenger cars drivers, police pay great attention to trucks and the weight of vehicles is related to it.

    Regional traffic police “shined light on a trucker” who really exaggerated with the weight of the cargo. The value of his vehicle with the cost was incredible 56 tons! The maximum allowed weight was exceeded “only” by 16 tons!

    This is rather normal for timber trucks.
    This one weights like 19t empty.

    Know a guy who had 75600kg on 5 axles
