He's hauling for the government ...And I’m not real sure how he’s gonna get out there on only 8 axles but who knows
.... Who is hauling for the government ...No it’s an independent contract hauler
Amazing to those of us on the other side of The Pond........Never had one come in or go out on less than 11 axles though lol
Nige not saying these trucks are this but how much weight do they haul with a tractor with 1 drive and 1 tag or pusher? Also how much fuel is saved by not running a twin screw?"Reduce Speed Now" - you probably would if you saw this coming in the opposite direction......!!

Good eye. He's been everywhere.66 narrow nose?
Doug it's the same max GCW irrespective of whether the tractor is a 6x2 or a 6x4 - 44 tonnes or 97k pounds when a 3-axle tractor is coupled to a 3-axle trailer.. Max axle weights are 8.5 tonnes for a non-driven axle or 10.5 tonnes for a driven axle. That being the case the 6x4 has a little more flexibility regarding individual axle weights but that will still not affect the total GCW.Nige not saying these trucks are this but how much weight do they haul with a tractor with 1 drive and 1 tag or pusher?
