    I'm at 32,000 with a 48' curtainside tandem and a daycab.

    Hard to find 45/46 loads. Most lumber is at least 48.

    Anyone want to trade a spread axle for a curtain?

    Well done!

    Flatbed covered wagon spread comes out to 12000 roughly, volvo midroof 94 era would be another 16000 so... 28 to 30 or so fueled up and full chain kit etc.

    I remember the old day cab petes, Heil Bulk 40 foot a little heavier than the R models of the time long ago on the blue circle scale.
     
    Zeviander Thanks this.

    W9 and Mac step with about 1/2 tank of fuel I can load 24 tons on 18 or 19 pallets and be at 79,000. Or W9 and peanut hopper (43x102x102) with 1/2 tanks and be 28,500 or less.

    I'll take a bank check. I'd take a personal check if it has your address on it. lol
