Lol, my numbers are just fine. We’re good to 105,500 lb.
You are talking trips ? Not sets ?

Either. Like I said, had a pseg shipment, both were 25 plus. Axles scaled legal, gross was 88,000 lb. the permit is based on weight, not lcv.You are talking trips ? Not sets ?
Every day.with our single axle tractors? thats hard to believe
some forget the each state has it on exception on weight. If any one has ever pulled oversized and overweight loads requiring permits they would understand this more. Every state has it own rules and laws regarding weight, size limits, and route restrictions.Either. Like I said, had a pseg shipment, both were 25 plus.

Even if the higher limits are accurate ( and they may be ) there's one problem: XPO's equipment has limits. Single axel tractors ( in a lot of cases ) and single axel pups. Fixed fifth wheels and fixed axels on most equipment and not to mention engines that couldn't pull a loose tooth.Hard to believe that it would be that much more.
Also of our engines are cut back in torque and HP. Maybe there's aren't.Even if the higher limits are accurate ( and they may be ) there's one problem: XPO's equipment has limits.

We drive the same trucks you do. Same restrictions.Also of our engines are cut back in torque and HP. Maybe there's aren't.
The whole single axle, fixed axles, and fixed fifth wheels are not the problem. The problem is some of the brain dead forklifts operators we have. Load right and you have no problems. I pull 18k loads that were over axle weight and pulled 25k loads that scaled perfect.
Kansas allows 120,000 on the Kansas Turnpike with a maximum of 120 feet in length with proper LCV permits
Nothing like a 20+ year old dolly with 2 trailers behind it.I can't imagine pulling another 40K with this equipment. That just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
20 year dolly ... most are pushing 30.Nothing like a 20+ year old dolly with 2 trailers behind it.
Thanks for providing the link concerning weight limits per state. I went to my state of Florida and there are exceptions for Contained Sealed Cargo Units or a Self Propelled Crane. As a XPO employee I do not pull or operate either of those. So thank you for confirming my claim that if the weight is over 80k I will not pull it. Glad to know you took the time to back me up on this.https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/policy/rpt_congress/truck_sw_laws/app_a.htm#sd
