Best Answer

With a standard five axles setup, you'd be allowed the normal gross interstate weight allowance of 80,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight. For intrastate operations, some states do have heavier weight limits grandfathered in.

What that amounts to in terms of payload varies dependent on what the tare weight (weight before taking on cargo) is. For most tractor trailers, it'll usually be somewhere between 30,000 and 36,000 lbs, so you'd be looking at anywhere from 44,000 to 50,000 lbs. of cargo, with 44 - 47,000 lbs. being the most likely answer once all is said and done.
