NCOhio | We have 2 Timpte 40'x66" trailers with ag hoppers. There is no way to legally hall 56lb testweight product on these trailers. The trailer has to be completely full end to end. As I go on the scales I'm close to 12,000lbs on the front axle, 44, 000lbs on the tractor tandems and 80,000 total which puts 36,000lbs on the trailer tandems which is 2,000 lbs over. I know this from my one and only overweight ticket. In Ohio farmers are allowed a 3% over 80,000 if hauling from field or farm, but it has to be evenly spread on each axle. I would say for hire trucking to get the 42'x72" trailer and get air ride with the gauges to try to stay legal. The rear axles will always be over if filled all the way. | |
