Yes, the GMC Brigadier was a medium-duty truck that could be configured as a single axle daycab. It typically requires a CDL (Commercial Driver's License) to operate due to its weight and classification. However, specific licensing requirements can vary by state, so it's important to check local regulations.
Daycab Semi trucks can range in size from 2 tons to 6 tons maximum.
Gross 52,000 lbs
The power unit has a steer axle, and only one drive axle.
ABOUT 23,000 LBS ABOUT 23,000 LBS
No, every semi truck does not have a plug in heater.
The length from the middle of the steer wheels to the center point between the drive tandems (for a tandem truck) or center of the single drive axle (on a single axle truck).
One has a single drive axle, and the other has two. They're rated to haul different weights, and the tandem axle trucks usually have a twin screw system, where a power divider transfers power to both axles, whereas the single axle won't have the power divider.
Well, what's your power unit? Single axle daycab? Tandem axle sleeper truck? What's the wheelbase? You're using feet instead of meters, so I'm assuming you're in the US... the only 40 footers you're going to see are container chassis and frameless end dump trailers... put one of those behind a typical tandem axle sleeper berth truck, and you're looking at an overall length from 55 to 70 feet, all things dependent.
That depends on the axle configuration. If it a closed tandem typically 17,000. If it is a spread axle 20,000. If it is a single axle (Front of a Semi) typically 12,000. Those would be the "legal weights", but states allow different amounts of weights with a permit for over weight. That all depends on the state. Wisconsin will allow 23,000 per axle.
Yes. A Class 7 single axle straight truck exceeds the 26000 lb. GVWR. A semi truck is a Class 8 truck.
#1 axle is the steer axle, #2 axle is the front drive axle, #3 axle is the rear drive axle.
Mini trucking? That's a new one on me. You might be thinking of what's referred to as "hotshot" trucking, which is a single axle trucking pulling a multi-axle trailer. This can be anything from a one ton pickup pulling a gooseneck trailer up to a single axle tractor-trailer power unit pulling a semi trailer.
