The statutory Interstate weight limit is 80,000 lbs. without requiring a permit. You can have up to 20,000 lbs. on a single axle, provided the axle and tires are rated for it. 34,000 is the default for a set of tandems, although some states have higher weights grandfathered in... for example, in Colorado, you can have 36k on a set of tandems, but are still bound by the 80k gross weight.

How much weight can your dodge 3500 carry with a 20000 gooseneck trailer.?
Your Dodge is rated to carry 2000#, therefore you have to adjust the load accordingly if you have the leeway to do so ie. loading a 15000# machine on the trailer you can move the machine toward the truck until you reach the maximum load on the vehicle, leaving the bulk of the weight on the trailer axles. Wheel scales are necessary to weigh the axles when shifting the weight. You are only allowed a total of 2000# on the truck by the licensed weight.
What is the payload of a log truck in pounds?
That entirely depends on the empty weight of the vehicle, the number of axles and the licensed gross weight.
How do you scale out a semi truck and trailer for axel weight?
If you're on a scale which only provides a gross weight, you stop with just the drive axle on the scale and write down that weight. Then you pull forward until your drive axles are on the scale. Write down the total weight of the steer and drive axles... subtract the steer axle weight from the combined weight of the steer and drive axles, and you'll have your weight on your drives. Then you pull forward until all axles are on the scale. That'll be your gross weight. Subtract the combined weight of the drives and steer from that, and you'll have your trailer axle weight.This is basic truck driving stuff.
How do you figure axel weight on a semi truck?
Well, you either go to a CAT scale, which weighs each groups of axles separately, or, if you're on a scale which only shows gross weight, then you axle out. You drive onto the scale and stop with only your steer axle on the scale. Then you write down that weight, and pull forward until your drive and steer axles are both on the scale. Then you write down that weight, and subtract the weight of your steer axle to get the weight on your drive axles. Then you pull forward until all axles are on the scale. This will be your gross weight, and you subtract the weight you got when you had the drive and steer axles on the scale in order to get the weight on your trailer axles.

What is the gross vehicle weight of a 2000 GM C7H042 straight truck?
Depends on what axles came on the truck and their weight ratings. For example if the truck came with a 9000lb. capacity rated front axle and a 18,500lb. capacity rated rear axle, the gross vehicle weight of the truck would be 27,500 lbs.
What is a tri-axle dump truck?
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.
