how much stone is in a tri axle dump truck load 

I'm new to dump trucks...tractor trailer is where I spent the first 10 years of my trucking career....whats the deal with the federal bridge laws....there is a chart showing how many axles and how long the axles are between eachother (from steers to most rear axle) and tri axles generally only are allowed around 65,000 lb total gross weight on bridges considering the average tri axle is around 22 feet from rear axle to steer.... Is the simple answer just to avoid bridges and on every other road you are allowed to gross 80,000 lbs?

macknumber9 I gross 80000 in Ky but can’t get on the interstate

That's pretty reasonable its running about. 300 400 a load depends distance from quarry

Aluminum body hauls 24 ton

u got that right! .not even with a semi. ey in SC 69,850 max legal weight. it all depends on the truck weight

In NJ a tri axle can weigh 80,000 lbs between cargo and truck weight

how much can u houl in TN ? in SC is 69850 the limit for triaxle .i guess TN is a little more

There are maybe 16 tns

dah... pay the bill 36 metric tonne

@@NeilMellott coming from an owner of a triaxle dump truck bussiness myself, you got swindled pal. You paid for the whole weight of the truck too. 36 tons is the weight of the truck and the load. You paid for 36 tons and got 23 tons of stone dum dum. Maybe look at the stone ticket from the quarry next time before paying an invoice

@@NeilMellott Thats nearly 80,000 lbs of stone, plus a 25,000lb truck, equals you did not get anywhere close to that amount of stone.

Thats Nuts, they allow gross of 80,000 in NJ, for me TOO much for a tri.

I ran a big DM800 for a concrete company 88,000 lbs gross on a 65000 lb tandem axle. Twin sticks and 7 spoke 12x 24.5 rubber. 23000 lb steer axle. Great truck.

That’s crazy. That’s not even that much stone

oh really.. in SC ur allowed 69,850 on a triaxle so it depends on the truck weight..i usually houl 21 or 22 tons all the time

you knobhead. you arent a driver. Have you any idea how light the truck would have to be

Not really sure enough too cover 30’ by 40’

@@NeilMellott How much did it lift it compressed?

16' triaxle? must have been a short bus. triaxle dump is 30 foot from head to tail
