34,000 on both the drives and tandems... 12,000 on the steers, with a gross weight of 80,000
With a single axle trailer, they would be allowed a gross weight of 52,000 lbs for interstate use. Pulling a set of doubles, they're still limited to 80,000 lbs. gross weight by the federal regs, but some states will allow them 92,000 lbs. gross weight for intrastate use.
Depends on the truck's specs. A US beverage distribution truck hauling a single axle trailer would be permitted between 54,000 and 56,000 lbs gross weight, whereas single axle tractors pulling tridem trailers in Europe and permitted a gross weight of 44 metric tons (about 97,000 lbs.)
imagine standing on a scale, your left foot would be front axle gross weight and your right foot would be rear axle gross weight. and the total weight is GVWR gross vehicle weight rating
Currrently, standard weight limits apply to the total truck and not just the box. Federal law established the minimum weight requirements with four basic limits for single axle, double axle, bridge and gross vehicle weight. Only seven States curretly apply the federal limits; the reminaing States apply some combination of the standard limits.
what is rear end axle ratio
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.
