RE: weights... New Allegro Bus

Subtract the vehicle weight from the Gross vehicle weight. i.e. 1300lbs of malt beverage allowed. This all goes back to the Interstate Bridge Law.
Yes the law says a tandem axle is rated at 34,000 max. When you check the Bridge law you will find that as wheelbase increases the 34,000 limit increases.
