They can gross 80,000lbs total. Unless they are staying inside of a state. In which case some states will let you legally carry up to 100,000lbs inside of the state only. Some states require a special license to scale more. When moving heavy machinery you have to pay penalties and get special licenses to move at higher than 80,000 gross. In some states they will not allow legal transport and you must drive anound those non participating states.

A refridgerated trailer and truck weigh approximately 37,500-35,500lbs empty. Which would allow them to carry 42,500-44,500lbs legally without any licenses.

The legal length of a semi truck, also known as a tractor-trailer or a semi-trailer truck, varies by jurisdiction but is typically around 70-80 feet long in the United States. This length limit is inclusive of both the tractor (front part) and the trailer (back part) of the truck. Oversized or overweight loads may require special permits and restrictions.
