Depending on make, model, specifications, etc., you could be looking at anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 lbs. (although 20,000 would be a bit on the high end)

Gross 52,000 lbs
Well, that depends on what it's pulling. The federal law allows a max weight of 80,000 lbs., including for double trailers. Some states will allow a truck pulling doubles to gross 92,000 within that state. They can haul as much weight legally as a tandem axle tractor-trailer can, so long as they remain within legal axle weights.
20,000 on the steer axle, 34,000 on the drive tandems together.
Soda distributors use a variety of trucks, and it would've helped if you'd been more specific. The vendor could be operating anything from a pickup truck up to a five axle tractor and semitrailer unit. Single axle straight trucks would be allowed a maximum gross vehicle weight of 33,000 lbs. under the federal regs. Single axle tractors and single axle trailers (which is possibly what you had in mind) would be allowed a maximum gross vehicle weight of 52,000 lbs. under the federal regs. Five axle tractor-trailer combinations are allowed a maximum gross vehicle weight of 80,000 lbs. under the federal regulations. Some states have higher weight allowances for vehicle restricted to travel within the state.
92,000 is typical for interstate travel, but intrastate varies by state.
Not enough information to answer. What type, is it a straight truck or tractor trailer, how many axles, what class vehicle, etc. would be needed to give you an answer. With weight laws in the US, a single drive axle truck rated at 26,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight could carry up to five tons, while a Class 7 single drive axle truck rated at 33,000 - 35,000 lbs. could carry up to eight tons. A tandem axle straight truck would be in the vicinity of 12 to 13 tons, and a standard, five axle, semi tractor and trailer can range from 23 to 25 tons of legal payload.
ABOUT 23,000 LBS ABOUT 23,000 LBS
You need to be more specific about the configuration. Is a single axle straight truck, a tandem axle straight truck, a tandem axle straight truck with additional lift axles, a tractor trailer...?
12000 pounds
25,000 - 40,000 lbs. or more, depending on specifics. When you say "tractor-trailer", you're citing an all-inclusive category which would include everything from a single axle tractor pulling a 28' single axle trailer up to heavy haul units of over 20 axles... I've personally run combinations which have weighed in excess of 250,000 lbs. empty.
That depends on the axle configuration. If it a closed tandem typically 17,000. If it is a spread axle 20,000. If it is a single axle (Front of a Semi) typically 12,000. Those would be the "legal weights", but states allow different amounts of weights with a permit for over weight. That all depends on the state. Wisconsin will allow 23,000 per axle.
Well, you're limited to 20,000 on the single axle. If you have at least a 35 ft. bridge to the trailer tandems, you can gross 34,000 on the trailer tandems (or 40,000 if you have a 10 ft. spread between the axles). As a rule of thumb, 12,000 is going to be your limit on the steers.
