What is the gross weight of Volvo day cab truck?
Well, the question is really too vague to be answered. You said gross weight, implying you want a loaded weight. Volvo manufactures and sells many different models of trucks worldwide. We have no way of knowing if you're referring to a Volvo truck in the United States, South Africa, Australia, the United Kingdom, etc. The allowable gross weights will vary between jurisdictions. Also, you did not say what configuration of truck - again, for all we know, you could be referring to a single axle straight/rigid truck, a tandem axle, a tandem axle with additional lift axles, tandem axle twin steer, single axle articulated truck, tandem axle articulated truck, etc. Typically, however, a sleeper cab truck and daycab truck are allowed the same gross weights.

It's a dump truck with four axles--the steer axle in front and three axles in back. One of them moves up and down via a control in the cab, so the tires aren't on the road if the truck's not loaded. A tri-axle dump truck carries more weight than a one-axle or two-axle truck.

What is the weight per axle on a 10 wheeler?
Vocational trucks are allowed more weight per axle than a tractor and semi trailer. The overall allowed gross weight depends on a number of factors... type of road they're on, wheelbase, etc. Typically, a gross weight of between 52,000 and 54,000 lbs. is allowed. Typically, the drive axles are allowed a combined weight of 34,000 lbs... some states have higher weight allowances grandfathered in from before the federal bridge law went into effect (e.g., you're allowed 36,000 on a set of tandems in Colorado). The steer axle can be up to 20,000 lbs, so long as the axle and tires are rated for it... you wouldn't be allowed to gross 20,000 on that axle if you're running a 14k axle and tires.

How much weight can you put on a set of tandoms when there is a 7 ton per axle weight limit?
Depends on what the tare weight already on the axle is. Generally, you can take your tare weight, subtract it from what your gross weight would be allowed on the low tonnage road (21 tons or 42,000 lbs. on a tandem truck), and you generally won't be harassed as long as your gross weight doesn't exceed what it would be allowed in accordance with the restrictions of the low tonnage road. But this is in no way guaranteed, bear in mind.
