Subject: Re: Grain Truck



The OP is from Illinois. Last I knew they did not recognize tri-axles. His gross weight would be limited to a tandem.

In my other post I didn't address the subject of truck size as his question concerned tandem trucks so I figured that was what he had decided upon. We went straight from single axle grain trucks to twin screw semis. Tandem trucks never seemed that popular in this area though I'm seeing more today than I did several years ago before the trend went to semis. Several area farmers went from single axle grain trucks to single axle semis but the majority of them moved up to twin screw tractors & long trailers. When we went to semis we were able to buy a semi-tractor & trailer cheaper than a diesel tandem grain truck. WE figured if we were going to sit in line for an hour or two we'd rather sit with a 1000 bu than 600.
