That'll be dependent on the configuration and state laws. United States Federal DOT regulations allow for a total of 34,000 lbs on tandem drive axles, and the front steer axle may have up to 20,000 lbs. so long as the vehicle doesn't go over the allowed weight rating.

State law may allow for heavier weight ratings on secondary roads, but usually not on federally maintained Interstate highways unless the state was granted a grandfather clause for their permissible weight rating when the federal DOT regulations were established.

For information pertaining specifically to your state, you would be best advised to contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles or motor carrier enforcement agency (which will usually be some division of the State Police in US states, the MTO in Ontario, or a division of the RCMP in the remainder of Canada).

How much does a fully loaded concrete truck weigh?

A typical fully loaded concrete delivery truck can weigh up to 70,000 pounds (35 tons). An empty truck weighs between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds and a full load of 10 cubic yards of concrete weighs about 40,000 pounds. That said, concrete with 5 to 8% air entrainment for freeze/thaw protection will weigh proportionally less. In hilly terrain, trucks may be somewhat short loaded to prevent spillage during transit. Considering these and other small variations, total weights are approximate.

Does fully loaded truck or empty truck have more momentum?

Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
