How much cargo can a truck with front four and rear four axles tow?
2 Answers
A truck with front four and rear four axles is regulated to carry 40 tons. Below is relevant information about cargo consignment: 1. Definition: Cargo consignment refers to the act where a consignor entrusts a carrier (transportation company) to transport goods, luggage, or parcels. When consigning goods, the consignor (shipper or material unit) must fill out and submit a cargo waybill, which serves as a written contract between both parties, in accordance with relevant carrier conditions. This waybill specifically reflects the consignor's requirements for the consigned goods, records the type and process of transportation, and outlines the rights and obligations of both parties. 2. Regulations: For goods that are prohibited or restricted from transport, or require customs, quarantine, health, tax payment, and other procedures, as well as goods that must be accompanied by supporting documents, the consignor must submit all relevant documents along with the waybill to the carrier. Upon the carrier's review and approval of the waybill, the consignor must deliver the consigned goods to the designated location for inspection within the stipulated time.
Back when I was learning to drive at the driving school, I had experience with many of these 4x4 trucks, usually with a tandem axle configuration—four wheels on the front axle and four on the rear. Generally, these vehicles can haul 10 to 15 tons of cargo, but one model I drove once carried up to 14 tons of grain from the farm to the warehouse, and it handled fairly steadily on the highway. The key factors are the chassis design and tire load capacity: if the tires are heavy-duty, you might squeeze in an extra ton, but you must reduce the load by a ton on mountain roads or in rainy conditions to avoid rollovers. I always remind myself not to overload—otherwise, braking distance increases, driving becomes nerve-wracking, and maintenance costs skyrocket. You also need to leave some margin for cargo weight distribution shifts during loading—steady and cautious driving ensures a safe trip home. Regular maintenance is crucial; inspecting the suspension system monthly can extend the vehicle's lifespan.
