I just saw a truck pulling a tanker today with super singles on truck and trailer.

This seems to be a growing trend here in Northwest Indiana. I see more construction and Altom chemical haulers are starting to switch over to the supersingles. I wonder if the tolls are reduced for a supersingle tire. If so this is a good reason to make the change in this area.

Tolls are by the weight or axle. A super single tire has to carry the same weight as a set of duals. by axle The most you can legally have is 18,000# per axle so each set of duals is carrying 9,000# per set.
