    If we keep it civil we might beat the numbers from the "How to make a right turn" thread.

    Here's a gravel truck I found on Google. My guess is its a BC truck based on the manufacturer of the dump box.

    That Document also states (page 8 onwards) the Triaxle is;
    20 Tonne on GML (general mass limits)
    can go to21Tonne on CML (concessional mass limits)
    or 22.5 Tonne on HML (Higher mass limits)

    Heavy Haul guys can go to (Under permit) a figure approaching the 27 Tonne you Quoted.
    I've done my Share of oversize over the years. But Have No experience of Overmass.. ( When I was ever heavy, It certainly wasn't Legal..:rolleyes: )
