What weight of cargo can a semi truck haul?

Legally, about 140 - 150% of its tare weight. Most could haul significantly more if need be.

A refridgerated truck can haul 42,500-44,500lbs of good depending on how heavy the rig is. The truck can gross 80,000 total.

Gross 52,000 lbs

ABOUT 23,000 LBS ABOUT 23,000 LBS

In the US, unless otherwise permitted, 80,000 lbs.

They are not bad! Trains are great for getting cargo from one place to another quite literally with less fuel than what semi trucks consume when they haul cargo from point A to point B. You can haul a lot more cargo with a train than you can with semi, that's for sure!

Typically, between 44,000 - 48,000 lbs. of cargo, under US weight limitations.

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.

depending on the truck, the weight of cargo etc . the fuel milage can be anywhere from 4 mpg to about 9 mpg

The best way to transport cargo from the warehouse to the dock is by semi truck.

Three or more. I've run units with 21 axles before. A typical line haul truck has five.

In most US states, a semi can only weight 80,000 lbs fully loaded, and for a long-haul truck, that rarely allows more than about 47,000 lbs of cargo... So, a truck could legally carry about seven million of the old copper pennies, or about eight and a half million on the newer zinc ones. But... If you didn't have to worry about the weight, you could fit over two hundred fifty-five million pennies into a…

The weight of a truck that is filled to capacity will depend on the truck. There are many different kinds of truck, and they begin with the smaller imports to the full-sized pickup. Then we move on to more "commercial" haulers and upward to what are often called the semi-trailer truck (the semi or big rig). Weights of these truck vary, and the weight of their payloads can vary as well. A whole different class…

Transportation is simply a word that refers to any method of getting from point A to point B. People have always been eager to find faster, more efficient methods of doing so. For example, using a high speed train instead of a bus; or flying from New York to Paris, instead of sailing a ship; or using a semi truck or a train to haul larger amounts of cargo than you could haul in a…

Anywhere from 50 to 300, depending on how the buyer had it spec'd out. 240 gallons is pretty common for a line haul OTR truck.

Depends greatly on the configuration of the truck and trailer but average cargo capacity is about 42,000 lbs or 4050 cubic feet.

Without requiring a permit, 102 inches. As for what it's capable of hauling, it's all a matter of what can be balanced.

It depends. If you plan to haul freight all the time, compare the price of leasing a semi against the price of hiring a company to haul it. If you're just trying to move one load, it's completely out of the question--you need a class-A CDL just to drive the truck.

It sounds to me like you're describing a straight truck, rather than a semi-tractor. I'd need to know the model number before I gave you an answer... what you're describing could be either be a single or a tandem axle truck.

Semi-truck tires can weigh up to 110 pounds. The tires for passenger cars have an average weight of 22 pounds, and tires for light-weight trucks average around 35 pounds.

For a typical five axle unit, the interstate gross weight limit is 80,000 lbs. Factoring in the tare (empty) weight of the truck and trailer, they can typically carry between 44,000 and 50,000 lbs. of cargo before they hit that weight limit, all things dependent.

The cargo being carried by a ship or plane.

General Motors sold their Class 8 truck production line to Volvo A.B. in 1988, effectively taking them out of that market. The Top Kick was available in semi truck configuration (single axle, suitable for beverage distribution, local P&D, etc. - not for long haul applications) until 2009.

truck and trailer 35000 pounds.

17,000 - 20,000 lbs.

A flatbed trailer is one of the most versatile trailers used in the freight industry. Its main purpose is to haul oversized freight, equipment, machinery, or any other type of cargo that will not fit inside a dry van enclosed trailer. The cargo can be placed on the long flat bed of the trailer and strapped and secured down for transport. The most desirable part of this trailer is the ability to load the cargo…

there is no typical fuel capacity. can be anywhere from 50 to 200 gallons per tank and most semi's have a tank on each side,which doubles the capacity a semi that is not used for long haul, but typically local deliveries will usually have smaller tank to enable more weight removed from empty truck which can then be applied to payload,also this is done as local usually have access to fuel more often and more…

The answer is 4.25 tons or 4 1/4 tons

Who invented the Semi-truck?

~17,500 - 19,000 lbs, depending on specifics.

A box truck is a truck with a box attached to the chassis behind the cab. Think "U-Haul", "Penske", etc. A bobtail truck is a truck-tractor, also known as a prime mover, which uses a fifth-wheel hitch to tow a semi-trailer. Think of an 18-wheeler without the trailer attached.

The first semi truck was manufactured in 1898 by Alexander Winton. He was more into passenger vehicle transportation at the time and did not mass market this truck. His truck was used to haul a trailer for the cars he sold. In 1920, George Cassans invented the type of car hauler that is on the road today with 18 wheels. This led to a box like van that could be used to haul other goods.

As a former truck driver we refered to it simply as empty weight. The 'official' term for it, however, is tare weight.

For a cargo hauler who is looking to purchase a new model of a Peterbilt semi truck, the average asking price is roughly 120,000 United States dollars.

If the semi truck knocked on the garbage truck, yes.

A semi-truck. Try it. A semi-truck. Try it.

Somewhere between 16,500 and 18,000, depending on specifics.

For practical options for a five axle line haul tractor, and one you could expect to see in use under normal circumstances, 726 to 983.

Well, that all depends on the trailer. With a Freightliner and an aluminum 48' flatbed trailer, I've always been able to haul in the vicinity of 48,000 lbs. on the trailer.

For this type of equipment it depends on the truck itself but mainly they get usually around 6mpg This is true depending on weight and speed and such. www.fairtran.com figures it for you.

This varies greatly depending on the type of truck. For example, a sleeper tractor weighs more than a day cab, a refrigerated van trailer weighs significantly more than a flatbed trailer, and so on. I drive a tandem axle day cab Sterling semi (this is a semi tractor with a total of 3 axles and no sleeper), and I pull a 53-foot dry van trailer (this is a box trailer without a refrigeration unit). When…

Well, for this to be answered, there's a lot of information missing which would need to be filled in, such as: Tare weight of the power unit (the truck itself) Tare weight of the trailer - there are many different types of trailers, and different tare weights associated with them Weight of the cargo (in this case, the bulldozer). Bulldozers come in many sizes. Some are small enough to be transported on a standard five…

It Depends. A city tractor with out sleeper can weigh as little as 15,000 lbs. A decked out highway tractor can weigh as much as 21,000 lbs.

It depends on the weight iof the bushel. For example corn weighs 60-70 lbs/ bushel. A truck can gross interstate scales @ 80,000lbs. In some states, but not across borders, according to law they can scale up to 100,000lbs. The truck equipment on an older refridgerated truck weighs approximately 36,500lbs. Newer trucks can carry up to 44,500lbs due to lightweight machinery and materials and no water buildup in the insulation. Older trucks can fit as…

34,000 on both the drives and tandems... 12,000 on the steers, with a gross weight of 80,000

No, every semi truck does not have a plug in heater.

With a standard five axles setup, you'd be allowed the normal gross interstate weight allowance of 80,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight. For intrastate operations, some states do have heavier weight limits grandfathered in. What that amounts to in terms of payload varies dependent on what the tare weight (weight before taking on cargo) is. For most tractor trailers, it'll usually be somewhere between 30,000 and 36,000 lbs, so you'd be looking at anywhere from 44,000…
