    Most facts given are correct, BUT the front axle weight limit depends on a few items. 12,000 lbs, ok if you have G rated tires, 6175 lbs each. H rated front tires and a 14,200 lbs front axle, then the front axle can weigh more. some scales will check the weight ratings on steer tires if the front axle has more than 12,000 lbs.

    Montana allows more on Triples, if you have the permits and registration weight for the vehicle. ND is 105,500 lbs, but they are trying to up the weight limit some to be the same as Montana. South Dakota is around 150,000 lbs, but takes more axles and length.

    True. My guys out of North Dakota stick to 105,500 going into Montana, and vice versa. Makes it easier.
