Hello everyone and thanks for checking out Fast Cool Semis. We are in the process of bringing you the most informative semi-tractor website. Soon you will be able to see cool pictures from many different manufacturers. You will also be able to find useful information that deals with owning or driving a big rig. One of the first things we have to offer you is this semi tractor insurance page, which will give you advice about getting the best rate that you can for your Fast Cool Semi. We also offer a load boards page for all you drivers. There are several companies offered here which will set you up with a load. Some of them are free and some of them require a membership. So you have a load that needs to be hauled all over God's green earth? Don't know how much to charge? A fuel surcharge is a must if you want to stay in business. Check out this fuel surcharge page and you can determine exactly how much to charge.
So, now that you have insurance, been to the load boards and know how to
charge, you should probably do some
pre-trip inspections. |

The cargo trailer usually has two "tandem" axles at the rear, each of which has dual wheels, or 8 wheels on the trailer. Although the cargos weight added to the semi's weight can equal a certain poundage some roads are marked with a different poundage so the roads are not damaged. Cargos that exceed allowed weights are usually marked with overweight load and must obtain a permit to use certain roads. Rules governing the maximum size and weight of vehicles differ among the States in the US. However, since the majority of hauling is done on the interstate system, the vast majority of trucks and trailer made in the US are built to the specifications of the Department of Transportation which governs the use of the interstate system. The D.O.T. has established vehicle limits of: 102 inches wide, 13.5 feet in height, and 80,000 pounds gross weight. These limits can be exceeded as individual states have the right to issue temporary oversize and/or overweight permits. Trailer dimensions vary greatly depending on amount and type of cargo it was designed to haul.
