    Well, im going to guess those trucks have a Michigan plate that allows them to gross out at 164,000 lbs. If I know the log truck drivers around here, closer to 200,000lbs

    yes it was taken nead standish mi those wernt weighed but id say around 160,000 i did load out a load of rail ties on the white truck it was around 200,000 we weighd the next one and cut our loads way....... back lolthe boss said it was one solid block of wood to the top of the stakes oppps

    So how tight can you turn with all those axles!?!?!?

    it depends on your load and the ground your running on there is 3 lifts on the trailers so that helps i like the heavy loads dont like little loads i should do heavy hauling but i have sawdust in my blood as the bosses wife told me
