We have an all up weight of 44 metric tonnes ( 97,000 lb) for 6 axled
artics.
How much did your trucks + trailers weigh, Bill ?

Re: Wrangler - What to buy?
 

Hi Dave,
I've forgotten what my tractor weighed dry. I once accidentally
loaded that 97,000 gross with heavy water, and absolutely couldn't start
off without lifting my front wheels off the ground and bouncing at least
three times with a ten speed used on the flat lands of Texas:

Hi Bill,
Fortunately you don't have to drive a commercial truck. From page
44, #7 of: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/20...al_17888_7.pdf
"In most cases, an overweight permit is required for weights exceeding
80,000 pounds."
