Big Gear Box

In Mich. they are allowed 11 axles. I think the guy that wrote that law owned a tire store. I was helping at a farm near Flint. The rig I was driving had a 3 axle tractor, 5 axle trailer (two lift axles) and a 2 axle pup. Lots of fun going through town with that rig.

Where did you cross into Canada at? No problem with Weinie dog with the border shutdown to all but commercial traffic?

Norm, how much can they gross with 11 axles?

Rodger, Weenie kicked the bucket few years ago. Got little Chihuahua now. I crossed at Port Huron (above Detroit) I make the dog stay in the back and deny everything. She loves to ride on my Harley with me. She rides in my back pack.

Heres an old Michigan roller.

I seem to remember 154,000, but that was going to Ottawa Lake, Mich. and I think that was a bit over.

Hi, Oil Slick.
I dunno about elsewhere but we hadda 9-axle come into the ranch here with a load travelling entirely within CA. that was carrying 106,000#. And it was not all one piece. One part had to be taken off to get the height down but still came over in the same load. I do not know what the gross was.

Just my 0.02.

Rome, the old COE doesn’t look very powerful but with enough gear reduction seems like one drive axle would chew up tires pretty fast with that much weight.

Deas, did the ranch get a new play toy?

It's been said that the biggest hills in Mich. are overpasses. 😙
