MACKS Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Bad news from the dot,I sent them an e-mail asking if this new law would effect my 1996 three axle dump with a grandfathered type two permit,They wrote back YES starting January 1st 2015 every truck regardless of year MUST have four axles and if you add an axle it must be steerable..Now I'm really confused,sent them another e-mail to make sure!!

RFCDrum Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It has to be steerable. They don't want you to lift it. I guess the rule has changed. It used to be anything 06 and up had to be a steerable axle on the lift.

mack1928 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I guess it's a good thing that my trucks only weigh 23,000 that means they are gonna drop them probably down to what my last truck is 66,000 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30736-nys-overweight-permits/page/2/#findComment-178450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKS Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 I went back at him with one more question to see if there will be a different type permit offered to us or are we going down to un permitted weight witch would be useless.

mack1928 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 It's great how they write one thing and mean another thing if you talk to someone. Everyone over there has a different story and different laws they make up as they go its crazy I don't believe that they could cut us down to less then the 66,000 that permit is a regular type 1 and I got it back in 04 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30736-nys-overweight-permits/page/2/#findComment-178494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack1928 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Mack's that's what would make sense that they would give us at least that but you never know with them. that was great to ask please let me know what they say about that. They are going to have ALOT of pissed of truck owners in 2015 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30736-nys-overweight-permits/page/2/#findComment-178497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Be happy to get 66k. Fl on a 10 wheeler is 64K Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30736-nys-overweight-permits/page/2/#findComment-178501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKS Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 He replied to my question and said if I decide not to add a fourth axle I could bank the type two permit weight and apply for a state wide type one permit,as an example a truck with 17 foot wheel base would have a max gross of 63750..I don't think my wheel base is much more than that so I'm screwed!!The formula for the type one permit is 1,250 x wheel base + 42,500 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30736-nys-overweight-permits/page/2/#findComment-178650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack1928 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Exactly what I thought my last truck I bought has that same permit type 1 it gets exactly 65,940 with that formula Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30736-nys-overweight-permits/page/2/#findComment-178654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackcl96 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 In the mid 80's running salt,,,,you guys used allot of trailing axles (Strong arms) for R permits on the triaxles.Does NY still recognize them and could you put them on your tandem to get the length you need??

Does NY still recognize them and could you put them on your tandem to get the length you need??I see a few trucks with them mostly ready mix trucks,I would rather add a drop axle then have one of those hanging on the back of my truck..

earthmover Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know if this is going into effect in NJ too? I'm looking to purchase a Mack RD tandem to haul 70k but I may reconsider and buy a tri axle if I won't be able to!

rsb502 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Well you guys are just catching up to the rest of the country now, in TN a tandem is good for 66,000 on state roads and federal bridge law chart for fed. Roads (interstates) Tri axles are good to 74,000 and quads 80,000 secondary. The fed bridge on the interstate for my 04 Granite was only 56,500 ( everybody runs secondary road weights till they get caught).

I know it changed for the lowboys in Jersey with their permits and such.
