Nearly sure 82k is gross. After all, with the Federal limit of 80, plus the tolerance of 2000 for EV, the legal payload would be zero.

BTW, where does the 2000 fit in the 12/34/34 idea?

I am almost sure the WEIGHT OF 82,000 is the ACTUAL, loaded weight.. There IS NO WAY the empty combo would weight in that heavy.

my freightliner M2's with 48' Conestoga trailers weight in roughly at 30,000 empty with a payload of 50k.... my old Mack R1 and 45' steel trailer was 27,000 empty. unless YOU NEED a 50,000 battery to go 500 miles ?????:h

1977, I picked up pinch over 45,000 of meat in Nebraska, on a company brand new 42 ft Tempe refer and my '67 Pete long nose. Got captured on a outlaw trail in Iowa, escorted back to scale. I expected a big fine, but they axled me out, charged me the $30 for over length, turned me loose. I called the claims department to give them a heads up about my load would be short. When the receiver counted and weighed the boxes, I got clean bills. That means tare for that rig was less than 28,280.
Then in 1997, a friend got hurt, begged me to take his Volvo with 53 ft refer, pick up 45,000 lbs of pork in Mo. Over gross, play hide and go seek to San Antonio
