so with a load of 105000 what does the trailer look like? how many axles?
of course the laws about all this are different according to the state.
for example in indiana, you have a load permitted per axle and a total gross load limit. so you just see semis with two axles under the fifth wheel and two at the back of the trailer.
now in michegain you just have a load per axle limit, i believe and no total limit or if you do it is very high. there you will see trailers with axles running from the back of the tractor all the way to the back of the trailer. it is very interesting.
