Some states allow a set of A-doubles to run at 92,000 lbs. Some states even allow A-triples, which may be allowed to be up to 129,000 lbs. However, it's going to depend on the specs of the truck itself. A soft drink distributor's truck may only have a 250 - 300 horsepower motor and a six speed transmission. This would be a far cry from what you'd see pulling triple pup trailers.

How many pound a single axle tractor can pull?
Depends on the truck's specs. A US beverage distribution truck hauling a single axle trailer would be permitted between 54,000 and 56,000 lbs gross weight, whereas single axle tractors pulling tridem trailers in Europe and permitted a gross weight of 44 metric tons (about 97,000 lbs.)
How much can a single axle daycab pull If it says 50000 gvw does that mean it cant haul 80000 gvw total and you subtract daycab weight from the 50000 gvw instead of the 80000gvw to determine hauling?
What it says on the side is irrelevant. Permissible Gross Vehicle Weight is determined in accordance with the Bridge Law Formula. 50k was probably the normal GCWR with the trailer it normally pulls - most likely, also a single axle, although 52k should be the correct GCWR for a single axle with a 27' single axle pup trailer, though a 20k gooseneck trailer is also possible. There may also be a possibility that was the weight it was licensed for - this is something which also varies by state.
How do you know about a truck's axle ratio weight distribution?
Well, once you get loaded and if the customer has a scale, you simply use that scale. Since most scales found at a customer only take an overall gross weight, you have to axle out. You roll your steer axle onto the scale and stop. Then you read off what your weight is with just the steer axle. Then you pull forward until your drive axles are on the scale, and stop again. The weight you have now is the combined weight of all the axles on the power unit - subtract your previous weight from your steer axle from that, and you have your drive axle weights. Then you pull forward until all axles are on the scale. Subtract the weight you got with just the steer and drive axles on the scale from the gross weight, and you've got your trailer axle weights.
How do you figure axle weight on semi truck?
You take it to a scale and weigh it out. If you don't have something available like a Cat scale, which can give individual weights for each group of axles, you drive until the steer axle is on the scale, and get a weight reading from that. Then you pull forward until your drive axles are on the scale, and get a reading from that. Subtract the weight reading you got from your steer axle, and you've got the weight for your drive axles. Then you pull completely forward, until your trailer axles are on the scale, as well. At this point, you'll have your total weight. Subtract the previous weights (steer plus drive axle weights), and you'll have your trailer axle weight.
How do you scale out a semi truck and trailer for axel weight?
If you're on a scale which only provides a gross weight, you stop with just the drive axle on the scale and write down that weight. Then you pull forward until your drive axles are on the scale. Write down the total weight of the steer and drive axles... subtract the steer axle weight from the combined weight of the steer and drive axles, and you'll have your weight on your drives. Then you pull forward until all axles are on the scale. That'll be your gross weight. Subtract the combined weight of the drives and steer from that, and you'll have your trailer axle weight.This is basic truck driving stuff.

How do you figure axel weight on a semi truck?
Well, you either go to a CAT scale, which weighs each groups of axles separately, or, if you're on a scale which only shows gross weight, then you axle out. You drive onto the scale and stop with only your steer axle on the scale. Then you write down that weight, and pull forward until your drive and steer axles are both on the scale. Then you write down that weight, and subtract the weight of your steer axle to get the weight on your drive axles. Then you pull forward until all axles are on the scale. This will be your gross weight, and you subtract the weight you got when you had the drive and steer axles on the scale in order to get the weight on your trailer axles.

How do remove the axle out of my 1988 suzuki samurai?
pull drum off and get an axle puller. Although correct this answer assumes you mean the rear axle. If that is the case pull the drum off after removing the wheel and remove four bolts holding the axle bearing to the differential housing (on opposite side of brake backing plate) and then use a reversible hammer (axle puller) to pull the axle out from the differential axle housing.
