Joe,
With the proper Overweight permit mounted on License plate front
73,000 is legal here in NH, that's a 23 ton load on my truck. If you think
that's bad Joe Mass used to be 80 K on a Tri-Axle and I forgot to mention
these are dump trucks. I drive for a Paving/Construction Company and we run
legal weight now. 98 % of my hauling is Hot Mix. Before the CDL went into
effect it used to be 25 tons on a ten wheeler dump truck. Things are
getting better.
