Thumb of Michigan | I've loaded lots of Canadian ( Ontario) trucks here over the years. Lots of things the same, many differences. Many that come in had 8' spreads, Michigan recognizes 9'. Really cuts the Ontario trucks load, another difference here is that our max on drivers is 32K, I think Canada allows 38-40? with the right spread. Doesn't answer your question, but I think Ontario anyway can end up with bigger gross weights than here if equipped right. Here, you can plate up to 165,000 on a total of 11 axles. Bridge formula is a mystery to me, if its something we're supposed to pay attention to, I guess I don't.
Fairly common to load 1600-1850 bu on a set of trains (legal) here, have a neighbor who claims he can almost get 2000 on. Very light setup compared to many trucks here, but he owns the truck- not real rammy getting it around so it seems to stay together.
