Will my load weigh out before it cubes out?
Most 53' trailers carry roughly 42,000 to 45,000 lb of freight under the 80,000 lb gross limit, depending on rig weight. On 26 pallets that's about 1,600 to 1,700 lb each. Axle and state limits can cap you sooner, so confirm with your carrier.
| Payload | Pallets | Typical max avg per pallet |
|---|---|---|
| 42,000 lb | 26 | about 1,615 lb |
| 45,000 lb | 26 | about 1,730 lb |
FAQ
How do I check my load? Divide your payload by your pallet count and compare it to your pallet weight.
What if I weigh out? You'll ship fewer pallets than fit. Plan the floor to see how many.
