Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot | See them all the time here. Although that setup isn't as popular as a 40' lead with a 20' pup. That three axle carriage on the B's tends to get overloaded quickly, they are more spread out on a 40-20 set. 40-20's also track much nicer.
Legally, that setup can get you to 105,500lbs. I don't know what a hopper weighs, but the hay trailers like that are typically around 35,000 empty, so they can net around 70,000. I'd think hoppers would be at least as light. Think NV and ID allow even higher weights, but I don't know if you need more axles or length.
Wish CA would allow something larger. I can get 35 tons on a truck going north, 27 at most on a truck going south. Makes for a lot fewer trips to move the same amount. | |
