80k gross is max in the US without an overweight permit. That is 36,400kgs.

Well depending on your axle configuration.
Is that for a tandem trailer? Seems kinda low.

I can haul 55,500kg legally with a quad axle which I guess is 122000lbs gross.

If I'm running nights I usually get as much on as I can which is 60-65k, scales aren't open here at night very often.

When I was hauling b trains I could legally run 62,500kg gross.

Tandem trailer

They can haul more but it requires an overweight permit which costs extra $ and it's by the load.

A 6000gal tanker full of water puts the average rig right at 80k.

thats gross weight. 5 axles. like fmx said you can haul more but you have to have permits and the proper axles for weight distribution. or shipper/receivers that dont care how much you haul lol. our loads cannot scale out at more than 80k the mines computer refuses it until the weight is 80k or less.

my net weight is about 25.25 tons. with our flds and cement can you can haul close to 27 tons.
