Would you be comfortable with a tandem axle flatbed truck with 34,000lb rears?
Im used to 40,000lb rears being pretty much the “industry standard”.
As long as the rear tandems arent overloaded, I dont see a problem, but wondered if there were any inherent issues, problems? Axles snapping? Again, overloading wouldnt be an issue.
Never ran a set of “light tandems” like that.
BTW suspension is 40,000lb, but rears are 17K each, 34K total.
