- A standard automobile weighs about 5000 lbs. A standard truck loaded can weight up to 80.000 lbs within legal limits in the USA and permits can be obtained for extra weight if needed.
- 36287 kg is the legal weight allowed in Canadian roads.
- Legal weight per axle in the USA is: Steer 12000 lbs, Drives 34000 lbs and trailer 34000 lbs
- Did you know a trailer's price is somewhere between $30.000 and $80.000? and that a tractor/truck is around $130.000 to $250.000? This means that a combination Tractor - Trailer may easily be close to $300.000? suddenly flashing the Kenworth keys at the bar seems more impressive. (little joke for the super car owners, no pun intended, well maybe a little)
- Did you know a refrigerated trailer can be used as a stand alone refrigeration unit as it has it's own power?
