    Hauling Capacity question

    Bridge law isn't that hard to understand as long as you know the allowed axle group weights, tire per inch weights, and have a bridge wheelbase chart. In the OP's case I am going to assume the law will allow that truck 46,000 if the wheelbase is long enough, 34,000 for the tandems and 12,000...

    Shadow, To help you clarify what you have been saying. The 51 ft rule you mentioned. 5 axles combo at 51 ft allowed 80,000, so that could mean a 3 axle truck (front axle and tandem) and a tandem axle trailer, or it could mean a 2 axle truck and tri axle trailer, and this is as long as...
