These axle weights could be used up to the legal weight of the truck from the
Minnesota Gross Weight Table, which in this case is 64,500 pounds based on 5
axles spaced 26 feet.
*Important: Tire size and ratings may not allow the maximum axle weight;
especially if there are single tires on each wheel. In those cases, the tire size and
rating would determine the axle weight.
