I guess very few read my last post on the subject.....My info came from a meeting at Cascade IDOT district this past week and will be in place, supposedly, this week.
End of information from me......Get caught and pay your dues.
So they are reducing from 9 tons per axle to 6K lbs per axle? That's a big decrease.
Even your first post says 9K lbs per axle, which does not match the IDT press release of 9 tons per axle. That typo makes it appear that the 6K limit you posted should really be 6 tons, especially considering they are talking about GVW's of 27 tons. To get to 27 tons at 6K an axle would take 9 axles, more than about every vehicle I have seen on the road. The 27 ton limit is for double axle rigs, 3 total axles at 9 tons and axle works out pretty well.
Thanks for the info, we will be sure to check with IDT before any trips north.
