    Figured I'd post this here for you rather than highjack the other thread... Legal weights for standard 5 axle class 8 trucks.

    Total max gross weight: 80,000
    Max steer axle weight: 20,000 (but most companies run tires and/or axle that limit this to 12,000)
    Max tandem drive weight: 34,000
    Max trailer tandem weight: 34,000

    The few times I've been in a huge manatee waiting to get into a plant, there's no sign of the enterprising young man/woman in a food truck.

    Hence the need for "Ham and Swiss à la Volvo."

    A very honorable tradition of excellence dating back to the donner party Chuck wagon. I hear they even dip a sock and some under garments in the French onion soup to add genuine fromunda.

    That would explain the smell... But I don't care as long as it tastes good and makes a solid turd.

    If they did that how would we help them? It's much more fun to speculate on the true nature of their demise.
