Dunno. It's an odd number in metric too at 33309.09 KG... It's an awful low number too. We can take 27500 on a tandem here so long as it's got super singles on the front. Normal weights here are 9500 per axle on the drives, 9500 on the trailer axles and 5500 to 8500 on the front axle. I don't do any heavy trailer work so I'm not right up on those rules, but as far as I know most of our secondary roads are only tandem trailer roads. Tridems are supposed to stay on the highways, or else they have to carry their third axle in the cluster while on secondary roads. They can't scale on the third axle. Super B's will go to 62500 on the main highways. These figures are all in KG, so multiply by 2.2 for the #'s...
