depends on tractorand what equipment is installed on it.such as size of sleeper number of axles,whether it has tool boxes, a hydraulic system,and size of fuel tanks i had a mck tractor with hydraulic system tool box 2 tanks and a walkin mid rise sleeper.this truck with no trailer weighed 17000 pounds my kenworth about same configuration weighed 24000 pounds
Gross weight or loaded weight is 80,000 lbs. Empty weight differs greatly depending on different tractor and trailer configurations but is around 36,000 lbs for a tractor and dry van trailer
To get the answer, you need to weigh your tractor trailer empty. When you get that weight, Lets talk numbers, this is wrong but it is a big example. If your tractor trailer is 35,000 pounds empty. Means you can haul about 45,000, as long as you are not overweight on your three axles. Steer, Rear, and trailer axles. 12/34/34.
Empty, anywhere between 30,000 - 35,000.
It depends on what the empty weight of your combination (tractor plus trailer) is. You're allowed a total weight of 80,000 lbs., so, you subtract the tare weight of your tractor and trailer from 80,000 lbs., and you're left with what you can haul legally.
Not unless the trailer itself is the cargo.
The tractor weighs 20,000 pounds, the trailer weighs whatever it weighs, and the maximum weight of a loaded tractor trailer with one trailer is 80,000 pounds.
Number of variables here. It'll depend on the weight of the power unit (Freightliner makes several models), what type of trailer is being pulled, and whether you want loaded or empty weight. Empty, you can expect the weight to be anywhere from 27,000 lbs. and up, again dependent on the tare weight of the power unit and the type of trailer being pulled.
The "tractor" is the vehicle which actually powers the combination. A semi-trailer is any trailer in which the weight of the trailer (and the payload) is shared between the trailer's axles and the axles of either a dolly or the towing unit (in contrast, a full trailer supports all of its own weight).
That depends on the tractor and what equipment is installed on it such as size of sleeper, number of axles, whether it has tool boxes, a hydraulic system, and size of fuel tanks. A light trailer would weigh between 24,000 and 46,000 lbs depending on the above information.
300 pounds
Average weight of a road tractor and 53' dry van trailer is around 38,000 lbs. The Loaded weight is 80,000 lbs which is the legal maximum weight for a standard 5 axle tractor trailer.
That depends on the size of the trailor.
