Been tossing the idea around. Got a rig with a 325wb. Pusher axle set at 10’6″ giving me 43,500 allowable weight. Been plenty of times I’ve been at 48k and had to redistribute weight to legalize the tractor. Would adding a 2nd 1500lb pusher set at 12′ (giving me 50k allowable weight on the drives and 2 pushers) be worth it?
My tractor and trailer set up is 34,500k tare. Im running 105,500lb NW region. I can lift every axle on the trailer (pick and choose which rubber to melt into the black top). The extra weight on the drives would allow me to carry more weight vs pulling it.
Just looking for thoughts. Been rolling around my head. Haven’t seen the mega carriers doing it so must not be worth it, but still looking for thoughts from O/O.
