That depends on the axel trailer.
Your tractor drive tandems could weigh in at 34,000 lbs, but you could only have 20,000 lbs. on the single axle of the trailer.
That would depend on the weight rating of the trailer and bridge law. For a straight truck, five to seven tons.
For a standard five axel tractor trailer, the max is 80,000 lbs
the common rule is to put it back from center 1" for every foot of trailer length this is so you can have some tongue weight on the trailer.
No, Curtis Axel is not single.
There are several different axle and wheel sizes that each carry different loads.

The vin plate on a Boxer, usually on the front panel uncer the bonnet lista a series of numbers, one relates to vehicle kerb weight, one for front axel, one for rear axel and one for train weight. train weight being the maximum combined weight of your van (including the load) and the total weight of the trailer ( again including any load put into the trailer). My last Boxer a 94 plate 270s had a towing limit of 1700kg, but struggled, not checked the curren one a 52 plate 290s. hope this helps.
Legal limits can vary from state to state, but a good general rule is 800 pounds per wheel. Axel weight limits should not exceed 73,280 pounds.
he is not single and yes he is tall.
Without requiring a permit, a standard five axle unit is permitted a gross weight of 80,000 lbs. Typically, this is defined as 12000 on the steer axle, 34000 on the drive axles, and 34000 on tandem trailer axles. You can have a gross of 40000 lbs. on the trailer axles if the trailer has a 10' spread between the axles, and the steer axle can gross up to 20000 lbs, IF the axle and tires are rated for it. However, the max gross weight of the vehicle remains 80,000.
