Hi
basically different trailer tankers weighs is distinct...the 5500 gallon version weighs from 10,300 pounds.that means an extra 2500 to 3000 pounds of steel,rubber linked equipment.
For a standard, unbaffled, non-compartmentalised two axle liquid tanker trailer, between 6,000 - 7,000 gallons, typically. How much they can actually carry legally will depend on the weight of the commodity being transported.
That depends on the axel trailer.
Like most tandem tanker trailers, Flying J's are 48 feet long.
Depends on what type of tanker. A lot of dry bulk tankers will go all the way up to 13'6.
The weight of a tanker truck depends on its size and carrying capacity. On average they weigh 80,000 pounds empty and can weigh as much as 100,000 pounds when full.
There are several different types of trailers out there, each with their own methods for loading. You wouldn't load a dump trailer, tanker trailer, and flatbed trailer the same way.
Gross Vehicle Weight 80,000lbs, legal road weight, actual fuel weight varies as vehicle weights vary between 35 and 45 thousand lbs. ie aluminum or steel tank size, engine and trans choices on tractor, aluminum or steel wheels etc etc

The weight of an aluminum trailer will depend on the manufacturer and style of the trailer. A CM Trailer weighs approximately 8,500 pounds.
The tongue of the trailer presses down on the trailer hitch, and that is tongue weight. How hard it presses down is a function of the weight in front of the trailer wheels, and how much of the weight is not offset by the weight behind the wheels. If the tongue weight is too great, the rear of the towing vehicle goes down. Too light, and the boat trailer will swing side to side.
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.
