Must go down the road like a hay wagoncentipede.
I see all those trucks for sale with 2,3 and 4 lift axles. We don't have any of those here. Everybody just runs tandems with 1 lift axle. With a permit they are legal with 22, 21 ton depending on wheelbase and empty weight. What do they allow in your state ?
That's what everything around here looks like. Last year they made non steerable axles illegal so a lot of guys just took them off and didn't bother replacing them with steerable ones. A setup like that is good with 21.5 - 22 ton depending on empty weight . 90 percent of the time you end up dumping off road. No place for a trailer.Here in AL on state and secondary roads a tri-axle dump can legally carry 25 tons depending on truck weight with no permit required. Tandems are rare as everyone wants to hire out tri's for obvious reasons.
This truck here can legally scale 25 tons everywhere in AL except the Interstate hwys.
