How come you can't find any specs on what the semi weighs? I know the GCW is 82,000 lbs., I believe that's Fed limit. But what part of that 82,000 lbs. is the actual semi, I mean what's it's payload? Just curious.
Payload? Totally different than combined. The tractor will need to be similar weight to existing tractors of same configuration. Nothing suggests they will be grossly different, including what looks like typical 20k steers and 40-44k drives.
PS nothing limits weight to 80k except number of axles. Basically that number signifies it will have a normal combined rating and not a heavy hauler.
