Can flat bed trucks haul 58000 lbs on alumimun trailer with day tractor?

Yes, a flatbed truck can haul 58,000 pounds on an aluminum trailer with a day tractor. The maximum weight that a flatbed truck can haul depends on the size and weight of the truck, the type of trailer, and the axle configuration. A day tractor is typically a smaller, lighter truck that is used for short-haul operations. Flatbed trucks are often used to haul heavy loads, such as construction materials, machinery, and vehicles. Aluminum trailers are lighter than steel trailers, which allows for a greater payload capacity.

The maximum weight that a flatbed truck can haul is also limited by the regulations of the state or country in which the truck is operated. In the United States, the maximum weight that a single-axle truck can haul is 20,000 pounds. The maximum weight that a tandem-axle truck can haul is 34,000 pounds. The maximum weight that a tri-axle truck can haul is 40,000 pounds.

If the weight of the load exceeds the maximum weight that the truck is allowed to haul, the truck may be overweight and subject to fines or other penalties. It is important to carefully calculate the weight of the load before loading a flatbed truck to ensure that the truck is not overloaded.
