    A guy I knew back when I did HHG had a tractor trailer combo that came in around 54,000 lbs. I've posted pics of the gigantic sleeper he had on it before.

    We have an ancient extendable spread-axle roll-off trailer and it is around 52,000 total behind a Freightliner Columbia.



    That's nothing compared to the rig run by this oversize guy I talked to the other day. It was a Tridem drive wide-hood T-800 hooked up to a massive multiple front and rear jeep bridge-type oversize trailer. It probably had twenty axles and he said the combo was about 160,000lbs - EMPTY.

    -p.
