Best Answer

For a typical five axle unit, the interstate gross weight limit is 80,000 lbs. Factoring in the tare (empty) weight of the truck and trailer, they can typically carry between 44,000 and 50,000 lbs. of cargo before they hit that weight limit, all things dependent.

How many axles does semi need to load 48000?

48,000 lbs of payload, or 48,000 lbs gross weight (vehicle + payload)? For 48,000 lbs. of payload, some five axle combinations can haul that legally, although that is cutting it a bit close. We're talking a fairly short wheelbase tractor, and aluminum flatbed with ten foot spread axle (spread axles can have a total of 40,000 lbs, vs. 34,000 lbs for tandem axles). If it pushes your total vehicle weight over 80,000 lbs, then you'll need an oversize permit, even with a five axle setup. As for 48,000 gross vehicle weight, any tandem axle straight truck would do.
