Mine is 14,600 lbs (tire rating which is lowest rates component). I had 14,500 on it today completely legal. I m sure I'm over 12k empty on my steers.
What exactly is the steer axle weight limit?

So please Super Trucker, don't leave us without telling us the official weight limits that everyone should know. -

So, how about if someone pastes a url to another thread or a website that has a break down of different weight limits. Or if it is truly that diverse and the info is not compiled in one place, then say that.
I agree that there are too many back seat drivers, if you will, that would be of better service by not saying anything at all. As opposed to pointing out that soo many people don't have a clue.
I see a perfect opportunity here to help "the community" by compiling this information into a thread on this forum, or maybe onto a website that can be referenced in threads like this one.
I have been in IT for quite a while and back when I first started, one the most frequent phrases I heard and said was "RTFM". If you don't know google it. That is actually what people should do, look it up. Do a search on this forum, for axle weight limits. You will probably find the info. If not, then submit a post asking for the info. And in the case that someone posts a question that has already been answered, then simply reply with "Do a search", or maybe be really really super nice and paste the link to the thread with the answer.
But simply saying that you can't believe how stupid people are isn't helping anyone. I get frustrated at ignorance too, I'm not perfect, but if we all just take a breath and help each other we will be much better off. -
