Good info thanks. 10,000 lbs per axle? Sheesh.
Thought about the tridem but 80,000lbs is still the US limit even with a tridem correct? Meaning the extra weight of the additional axle is robbing me of payload?
We get paid by the ton therefore we try to get 80,000lb if we can. That often puts us over on the rear axles. With the 72" spread we're allowed 42,000 in Ontario but only 34,000 in the per the Bridge Formula. 10-1 spread allows us 40,000 on the rears.
We scaled almost the perfect load the other day:79,780 gross|11,980 steers|33,160 drives|34,640 rears. Sure would be nice to have 40,000 available back there so we wouldn't have to cut it so close.
thanks
