MACKS Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 If your truck is a CL then they would be 58000 or 44000,most likely 440000 if its a factory tri axle I just bought a 20000 drop axle for my 96 cl,mine was a factory 10 w dump with 58000 rears.

Joe Ditchkus Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Macks Does NY enforce the Federal Bridge Law on Long Island. I know in cental NY around the Watkins Glen,Retsoff area they do.Not 100% sure on the #'s but you need 21' outer bridge to scale over 70 or 71,000 lbs.My tri-axle has a wheelbase of 239" outer bridge of 22'.Pa. is starting to have selective enforcement of this law at times.

MACKS Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Joe,I have the grandfathered down state type 1 permit,all I need is a 16 foot wheel base and now starting in 2115 I will also need to have four axles,Ill be able to gross 79000 on my truck with the new drop axle,I know its stupid to have a drop axle with 58000 rears but that's what I have to do.
