Sorry if this is like asking if a Corvette has a V8 in it or not but what are the main differences between single vs tandem or double axle semis? I already used the forum search and google just gives me a bunch of for-sale websites.
How much does a single axle truck weigh usually? Just the truck
What is the max weight a single axle can successfully haul? What the math and paper says is usually not the real world result, you know
Do single axle trucks get better MPG than tandem? Im guessing yes since they are lighter but Im still learning trucks.
What are the normal work applications for single axle trucks? I noticed the difference in HP in some single axle trucks are big, like 330 vs 425 so it looks like theres some variety to this.
Im trying to figure out if we can move away from tandem double axle trucks to single. Small operation, we haul just dry freight locally in regular 53 foot trailers so total axles would be 4. Sometimes the max freight weight is 30-40,000lbs Thanks forum members.
