What is the maximum weight that can be legally loaded into a trailer.?
Usually the limits are for axle weight.... the load carried by any single axle is not permitted to exceed a set value (usually 20,000 pounds) and the load carried by any tandem axle is not permitted to exceed 34,000 pounds. The overall weight limit for federal highways is 80,000 pounds for any given vehicle and trailer(s), though bridges and other types of roads (state highways, city streets) may impose lower gross weight limits.

How do you get the aggregate working load limit for a commercial motor vehicles?
I've never heard of an aggregate working load limit for a vehicle. The only place that term is used in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Reglations is in the load securement section. If that is what you meant, it's pretty simple. Most tiedowns and chains should be marked with their Working Load Limit. If they are, you simply add them up. Five synthetic straps with Load Limits of 7,000 pounds each equals an aggregate working load limit of 35,000 pounds. In most cases, your aggregate working load limit must be at least 50% of the total weight of what you are carrying. In this case, these 5 tiedowns' load limit would be enough for something weighing 70,000 pounds. If you don't know what the Load Limits are, you can go to 393.108 in the regulations. They have a list of tiedown types and sizes. If the tiedown is not marked, you must use the assigned rating from the regs. You need to check 393.100 through 393.136 though. Many commodities, such as bundled lumber, vehicles, heavy equipment, have specific requirements in addition to the genereal load limit requirements. Also, keep in mind, if you are inspected and your load is not secured sufficiently, it is an Out of Service Violation and you can probably count on being issued a ticket, being parked where you are, and your company's safety rating going down." That is not quite right. According to the rules the aggregate working load limit is "the sum of one half of the working load limit of each tiedown". This means you divide the load rating of each tiedown by two and then add them up to get the aggregate working load limit. If your tiedowns are rated at 7,000 lbs and you have 5 tiedowns , the aggregate working load limit, the sum of one half of the working load limit of all tiedowns would be 17,500 lbs. Securment rules state "The aggregate working load limit of any securement system used to secure an article or group of articles against movement must be at least one-half the weight of the article or group of articles". Divide the working load limit of each tiedown used by two and add them together. This number needs to be equal to or greater than half the weight of your load. It is an overcomplicated, fancy way of saying that the load limit of your tiedowns must be equal to the weight of the load.
