When I drove truck you could be 12000 lbs on the steers, 34000 on the drives, 34000 on the tandems on the trailer for a total of 80,000. Pulling two trailers with three axles in the middle you could be 43,500 on them with a gross weight of 116,000. the weight has to be distributed over maybe a 115 feet which is the length of the truck and trailers I'd pull.

I drove over the road for a year and a half all over the country. In the mornings it would be wall to wall trucks going into the cities. People will starve in a hurry if the trucks ever stop rolling into the cities.
