May have some Issues brewing

On truck I daily run.  Is a Heavy monster at 35,000 Empty, then is a Bigger issue, sat down with tape measure, and did the Old Basis Bridge Formula that seemingly NO ONE ever bothers with anymore.  Used to hand build Dump Pup Trailers for behind Tandem Dump trucks and had to alter several that could not meet Bridge Law.  Current truck and trailer measure out well above 52' long, HOWEVER, under Bridge Rues must measure from Front driver to rearmost trailer, can ONLY achieve 34 feet there, shuts off the Max GVW to 64500 against license weight of 80,000, close to 8 ton I generally carry as TOO Much.

Truck has not the WB to do that, what most do is add weight dispersal axles on the trailer frame to reduce axle to axle weights and reduce the signature as required by the Bridge Formula, which BYW is out of date to the 1950s.

This trailer is considered a Quarter Frame, was intended for use in building demolition inside cities where a Commercial Zone standard eliminated the Formula as to roads destructions. In STL KC or Columbia MO can exceed axle weights by either adding axles or buying a permit, on the Interstate system is not allowed.
