whats the first trailer for grain??

That is a possum belly or slick bottom chip trailer. It's built for wood by-products.

We take chip hauling VERY seriously on the west coast. :P

That combo goes to 88,500 gross and other 3 axle tractor/4 axle trailer combos the company has go to 96,500 gross. The empty weight for the 6 axle combo is about 28,000 and the empty weight on the 7 axle combo is about 34,000.

Yes, that's 30 tons net per load.

13,200
34,000 (total must be under 46,500)
42,500

Drivers and trailer axlescould not exceed 75,500. That is the bridge law for that overweight vehicle.

Digital scales on the truck and trailer, plus full length scales at loading facilities. I liked to load to 45,800 tractor and 42,200 trailer. Wiggle room as they say.

Every driver become comfortable with their own truck and loading can be very easy and quick. Drop a little in the front. Drop a little in the back. Add some in the middle to bring it up close, then fine tune it. That is for heavy products. Green and dry shavings were a "box out" situation. Load the trailer completely full and go. 20 units at 7 cubic yards per unit and the gross weight loaded with shavings was near 60,000.

I would but I don't know how to post pictures, :sad: I'm not very up to date with the technology,

If someone could tell me how to post pictures I would try, the truck in the avatar is mine but it looks much better than it does in that picture.

Got this one Wednesday May 30th, kind of proud of it, had 255 miles on it when I got it, now has just over 1800.

2007 379 Pete ( I know it can't be a 379 cause they don't make them in 07 BUT the 10th VIN digit is a 7 and the data plate says 379.)

[Mr. Ford95]

Yes it is Mack2. From what we were told, that model is the first and only one in VA. Power Curbers does not make that model anymore, we got one of the last one's before they switched. You know they are based in China Grove, NC right??

[Shawnee]
