I haul grain in southern Alberta and do a lot of on farm pick ups in some less than ideal conditions. I'm looking a t a newer truck and the dealer is telling me that super 40's will be fine. Are they, or do I need full blown 46's? I'm usually grossing 63,500kgs but have "accidentally" loaded a touch more on occasion!

Super 40's are rated for 140,000 lbs, which is right at 63,500 kg's. You should be fine with a "touch" more. There are actually single axles out there that can handle that weight as well.

Do you, by any chance, work for Night Runners Express, out of Killam ? |
