Default Re: PFB Tri-Axle King Hauler

the idea is to uniformly distribute the weight on all axles including the tractor . placement of the 5th wheel is crucial ( hence the sliding 5th wheel plate ) Here in PA ( last time I moved a permit load ) , we're alowed 20,000# per axle at a given distance appart ( I gotta find my PA DOT book ) . If you look at the position of the 5th wheels on the aspen set up ,it transfers enough weight to the tractor .
