Having just returned from USA and CANADA I would like to show my mates the different tractor trailer axle combinations that I sighted on the roads in Your country

How can Ontario be 101900 lbs if the max per Axel (tandem) is 37000 lbs?
So if you have a semi truck with the wider spread on both your drives and your trailer, you can have: 16,976 + 42,108 + 42,108 = 101,192 lbs. Of course, most trucks will not have a 1.8m spread on their drives and will have a maximum of: 16,976 + 39,683 + 42,108 = 98,767 lbs.
