Well here in PA, the legal max for a tri-axle is 73,280 pounds GVW including truck. In fact, thats the max for any single vehicle here, which is why we don't run quad and quint axle trucks, becasue their max is 73,280 as well.

It is nice to see a proper working truck loaded as it should be. At the risk of being nostalgic, in the 70's and 80's we used to run in 110-125,000 llbs range ALL THE TIME in NYC and Long Island.
24 cu. yd waterlevel and 28 cu.yds. crowned loads of gravel, bank run, quarried stone or 45-48 tons of asphalt was typical for a triple chassis DM 800 with 80,000 lbs. rears, 12.00x24 rubber and a over the top Bristol Donald or Steco dump body. The trucks took it well, the streets and roads, that's another story.

Legal weight for tri-ax in NH is 73,600 but when their buying by the ton you put a little extra on.The old girl takes it pretty well.Not an every day thing dot is pretty tough around here not many trucks on the road with the big slow down of work..

The company I work for we have 2 tri-axles. We are permitted for 73,000 pds GVW, which works out to be about 22.5 tns of material on board legally. Here in CT, the weight laws are weird, we have an overweight permit, which allows us to run up to 76,500pds GVW,( basically about an extra 1 to 2 tns) but you are not allowed to run on the I 95 or over any bridges, so it really is a joke. The DOT in CT is very tough, and comes down hard if you are over weight.

Ok i'll do the math.... Let's say you are in New Jersey. Tri-axle legal gross is 80,000. You are 115,590 . You are 35,590 or 17.79 tons overweight. Statute 39:3-20 Excess weight - plus $100 for each 1,000 lbs. or fraction thereof $526 $526 + $3590= $4116 fine How much did you say you were making on the job? It's all fun and games until you get caught or even worse get in an accident.

Well I'll definitely CLAP EM' one time for that photo GlenHD!  When I saw the first photo load, I was going to ask where those Blacktop Chutes were! Good thing the other photos loaded right up quick! Thanks for the photo! ... Prt BTW... just make sure there are no "Roadies" in the cab... that'll increase your fines for sure!

Thats a nice load, but you could have filled that silver tank under the cab. I bet she took some time to get going.

So Glen,
How many buckets does that load translate to for that Kobelco? Like 86 cycles for that old girl? What did it take you 15 minutes to load the truck? Looks like there is some room left in the cab for a couple more no?
Seriously though, I have seen them loaded up more than that. I've seen them loaded 3-4' over the sideboards, no joke.
PRT, what you mean a couple in the cab?? You know Glen cant drink worth a damn remember?

And anyone who travelles over the roads on the East coast wonder why they are so so crappy! Spread the weight out a bit and see how much longer your roads last!

I highly doubt weights have a whole loy to do with crappy roads. I build them and see the stupid stuff we do. Do you honestly think ten inches or 6 inches of driving surface or this great westher we have helps or maybe its all the topsoil under the road that we dig out.....Build a road through the swamp and except it not to move. Ground moves all the time good or bad
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Ground moves all the time good or bad The thing that needs to be improved in our roads is 1, more base. 2 better drainage. Lets be honest, our weight laws are ridiculous compared to other states. But take a trip to Chicago, who has tighter weight limits, and the roads are not that much different. Its a matter of the freeze thaw cycle that our region experiences every year. The only real way to beat that is to add more base, and improve drainage of that road base.

Good pics of the truck Glen, glad to see the old A-car is doing well. makes me miss mine.
Well said on the road building ideas turbo. Dad met an old civil engineer many years ago who told him that the 3 rules to building a good road are Get rid of the water, get rid of the water, get rid of the water.

Well said, Turbo. I agree, but I have to say, new construction or re-construction projects are designing roads with more base and better drainage systems that have been used in the past 20 years. But we have to remember this too, our roads that we drive on, the life cycle that they were designed for were 20 to 30 years maximum. Many of our roads were built in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. That's were the problem lie. Design technology then was build the road over existing grade and very little drainage compared to how they are built today....

Jeff lets not forget who drank the Boars Nest dry that night...It takes 2 beers to load the truck and about 68 buckets..
Prt i thaught you would like the blacktop chutes and no roadies in the truck cooler is strapped on the back of the hoe..
JoeE don't worry i'm a trained professional...
Mr Falcone got a 5 gallon bucket in the pass side full also...
The amount i pay in road tax and registration should be able to haul as much as i can fit in her....
