How many axles does semi need to load 48000?

48,000 lbs of payload, or 48,000 lbs gross weight (vehicle + payload)? For 48,000 lbs. of payload, some five axle combinations can haul that legally, although that is cutting it a bit close. We're talking a fairly short wheelbase tractor, and aluminum flatbed with ten foot spread axle (spread axles can have a total of 40,000 lbs, vs. 34,000 lbs for tandem axles). If it pushes your total vehicle weight over 80,000 lbs, then you'll need an oversize permit, even with a five axle setup. As for 48,000 gross vehicle weight, any tandem axle straight truck would do.

How do you find the tonnage of your car?

What is maximum weight of a truckload shipment?

If you are in the United States, the maximum allowable Gross Vehicle Weight is 80,000 pounds (without special overweight permits). This included the weight of the tractor, trailer, driver and fuel. The maximum shipment weight will depend, in part, on the type of commodity shipped. If shipping dry goods that do not require temperature control, you can easily ship 48-50,000 pounds on a standard 53' trailer. Goods requiring temperature control will generally "gross out" at around 46-47,000 pounds, due to the extra weight of the refrigeration unit, trailer insulation and diesel fuel tank on the trailer. While a rather long answer for a short question, I .

How much can a tandem axle tractor hold?

Depends where you are, as weight allowances are much different in various countries. For a tandem axle straight truck in the US, the max weight would be 54,000 lbs. In a dump truck, that typically equates to 13 - 15 US short tons of payload (dependent on the tare weight of the vehicle, of course). If you're referring to a tractor pulling a trailer, a standard five axle unit (steer axle, tandem drive axles, tandem or spread trailer axles) would be allowed a max gross weight of 80,000 lbs. under the federal bridge law, which, depending on the empty weight of the vehicle, could typically permit you anywhere from 20 to 25 US short tons of payload.

How much can a truck gross weight with a 34 ft trailer?

Well, that's going to depend on the Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings of the power unit and of the trailer. If it was a tractor-trailer with a trailer that short, then it wouldn't be able to gross 80k - in order to do that, the bridge between the drive tandems on the power unit and the tandems on the trailer must be at least 35 feet - a length greater than the trailer you described. You'd need some specifics about the tow vehicle and the trailer in order for this question to be answered accurately. We only know a trailer length - we don't know the GVWR of the trailer, and nothing about the tow unit, which could be anything from a Class 1 truck (0 - 6000 lbs. GVWR) up to a Class 8 truck (GVWR in excess of 33,000 lbs).

Do you need a CDL to pull a horse trailer to a horse show?

This question is a bit more complicated than it appears on the surface, and the answer is going to be largely dependent on the circumstances under which you're transporting the horses.First, we have to consider what vehicles require a CDL. In short form, single vehicles and combination commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Combination Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs. require a CDL. Weight rating is defined as the weight those vehicles are designed to be laden to - not their actual weight or empty weight. And if the actual weight exceeds the weight rating, you're in violation and operating an illegal vehicle or combination.A Class A CDL is for vehicles with a Gross Combination Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs. when the vehicle in tow is rated at more than 10,000 lbs. It's common knowledge that this is the class of licence required for commercial tractor-trailer combinations, but is not restricted to that. For example, a commercial use pickup rated at 15,000 lbs. towing a trailer rated at 15,000 lbs. would also require a Class A CDL.A Class B CDL is for single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., and allows for trailers with a weight rating of up to 10,000 lbs. to be towed.Class C CDL is not applicable here.Next, we have to figure out what the nature of the vehicle is, if it meets the weight rating criteria to require a CDL. If it is a commercial vehicle, a CDL will be required. If it is not, a CDL may not be.If you're operating such a vehicle as a third-party for-hire carrier and transporting the horses for someone else, you would need a CDL (as well as ICC/MC and IFTA or single state fuel tax registration) and a USDOT number.If you're transporting your own horses with your own vehicle, and it's appropriately registered, you fall under exemptions.If the power unit is a registered farm vehicle, it does not require a CDL provided the following criteria is met:It is registered and plated as a farm vehicle, and such information is displayed on the vehicleIt is used only for the activities of that farm, and is not hired out on a third-party basis. For example, a sod farmer who has their own tractor-trailer to deliver the sod they grow can fall under this exemption.It is operated by the farmer, members of the farmer's immediate family, or direct employees of the farmer. A direct employee is a W-2 employee - a 1099 contractor would not be a direct employee, and would require a CDL.It is operated within a 150 mile radius of the farm from which is operates. The moment that vehicle leaves that 150 mile radius, a CDL is required.It may also be possible that the power unit (tow vehicle) is registered as a recreational vehicle, in which case, it also falls under an exemption, provided that:It is not used for the transport of commercial goods or on a for-hire basis for the transport of good, provision of services, or transport of people.It is appropriately registered and plated as such.The driver of the vehicle is not operating it on a for-hire basis, whether a direct employee of a farmer or not.A farm vehicle will still be required to cross scalehouses and ports of entry; a recreational vehicle will not be.If the total Gross Combination Weight Rating is under 26,001 lbs., a CDL is not required, although a DOT medical card will be required to be carried by the driver if the vehicle meets the criteria of a commercial vehicle (a vehicle operated on a for-hire basis) and has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combination Weight Rating of more than 10,000 lbs.Licencing for registered farm vehicles and recreational vehicles (both single vehicles and combination vehicles) does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and thus the requirements for such vehicles are left to the states which issue the licences to the vehicle operators. Some states will have a non-CDL Class A and Class B licence. Others may use a "chauffeur's licence" system with endorsements specific to the type of vehicle being operated. You will have to check with your state's DMV as far as those licencing requirements go, since I do not have the luxury of knowing which state you're in.If there are further questions pertaining to this, or new questions arising as a result of the answer I've given you, you may contact me directly via email (the address is in my bio page).
