Better Load-Weight Distribution Is Needed for Tandem-Axle Logging Trucks

摘要

The results of a logging-truck axle-weight study and recommendations for improving the distribution of load weight on tandem-axle logging trucks. Logging trucks weighed in West Virginia carried so much weight on the rear axles that payloads could not be maximized without exceeding the legal axle-weight limits. Improved weight distribution would enable loggers to increase legal payloads.
