Glasgow, Ky
Would like to know the tare weights of semi's hauling grain. Wondering what truck/trailer combo allows you to haul the most bushels legally.
Personally, I run a 95 Volvo 189 inch w/b with a 34 ft steel hopper bottom. Tare on it is a little over 27,000 lbs giving me a 53,000 lb load to gross 80,000 lbs.
Would appreciate info from others in case I ever decide to upgrade.
