Box truck towing multiple vehicles - GIF

IMO, any 2 axle box truck, which commonly gross 25,999GVW, this combination is not going to make it past a Highway Inspection station.

Probably not in some states, depending on how it is registered. Let's break this down a bit just for giggles and grins , 26 ft box truck empty weight aprox 13750 to15,000lbs, if registered as straight truck + tow combination Class 6 or above 4 axles on the ground total class 6 26,001 lbs & above gross weight, the max allowed in some states 58,000 lbs. Class 7 33,000 lbs with 4 axles, 64,000 gross, 72,000 in some states, However any registration over 58,000 LBS required another annual tax to be paid. Now assuming both class 6 and class 7 are air brake equipped that is.
Now we have the prime vehicle at 15,000 lbs, 2 small vehicles in the box 4000 lbs each a single axle tractor being towed at 12,000 lbs a tandem axle day cab tractor being hauled at 17,000 and another small vehicle at 4000 lbs total 57,000.lbs legal in all States with proper registration insurance and a CDL A license Air brake qualified. Put that tandem tractor on the ground then the gross goes to 80,000lbs

I'm all for highway safety, not as a 'trucker', just hauling my gear to home base. Box trucks act pretty gutless; they'll still move loaded, but it's real obvious. Bet he won't traverse peaks on I-70 such as Denver or Eisenhower Tunnel. Satisfied with Frank S's weight appraisal, and brake statement of Dollar Bill.
That just concerns driver getting rolling, everybody's when it comes to stopping. Now, IF the box truck compressor can air up tank and all those lines, fine with breakaway gear, but wow. Guessing a carefully planned route as well, no height problems, surely there are "he**-no!" turns? It's almost a twin trailer and a half. Never been in any town, city streets, where a triple passed by.
