The maximum weight per axle on a ten-wheeler truck typically depends on regulations set by the Federal Highway Administration and state laws. Generally, for a vehicle with five axles, the maximum weight limit is around 20,000 pounds per axle. However, the total weight limit for the truck cannot exceed 80,000 pounds. It's important to check specific state regulations, as they may vary.
The maximum axle weight for an 18-wheeler, or a typical semi-truck, is generally 20,000 pounds for a single axle and 34,000 pounds for a tandem axle (two axles close together). The total weight limit for the truck and its cargo is typically set at 80,000 pounds on interstate highways in the United States. However, these limits can vary by state and road type, so it's important for drivers to be aware of local regulations.
Front axle 12,000, Front tandem 34,000, Rear tandem 34,000 unless it is a spread axle trailer; then it is 40,000 for the two rear axles combined. Total weight not to exceed 80,000 lbs.

20,000 lbs. statutory for each trailer axle, provided that there is a 10' spread between the axles. This does not affect the gross weight you are allowed.
"Inner-Bridge" refers to the following: For the Interstate Highway System, inner-bridge legal weight limits are established. There is a weight limit for the truck tractor portion of the truck tractor/semi-trailer combination and a weight limit for the latter part of the combination. The extreme axle distances for each of the two portions are both designated as inner-bridge limits. The inner-bridge for the truck tractor portion is the distance from the center of the steering axle to the center of the last truck tractor axle. The inner-bridge for the latter portion is the distance from the center of the rear axle of the tractor or the center of the first axle of the rear axle group of the tractor to the center of the last axle of the trailer.
