| UNITED STATES - Additional Weight Considerations |
- As a general rule, gross weight (tractor/tare weight/cargo weight) for 40’ equipment should be 80,000lbs, with a cargo weight of 45,000lbs depending on tractor.
- 40’ reefer cargo weight should be between 39,000 – 40,000lbs, cargo weight to stay under 80,000lbs gross weight (tractor/tare weight/cargo weight).
- 20’ laws in all states are governed by new bridge law weight which took effect in 1998. Distance between wheel base determines actual weight per axle and gross weight. As a general rule, cargo weight should not surpass 37,000lbs with a total gross weight (tractor/tare weight/cargo weight) of 68,000lbs.
- It is possible to be considered overweight in one or all of the following ways:
- Gross Weight – Maximum allowable weight for trucks on U.S. Interstates is 80,000lbs, including tractor weight, chassis and container weight, cargo weight, etc. Off-interstate limits are typically lower and vary.
- a. Axle Weight – Allowable gross weight on a single or set of axles is regulated by individual states. States typically allow 34,000lbs per tandem axle and 20,000lbs over single axle.
- b. Over 50% of all U.S. citations issued are for axle weight violations, usually the result of uneven distribution of the load inside the container.
- c. Bridge Formula – This law sets maximum weights according to the distance between sets of axles.
