Overweight and Tri-Axle Review
Overweight and tri-axle accessorial planning when weight, chassis fit, and route details matter. Weight can change legal routing, chassis selection, scale needs, receiver access, and whether the move fits available equipment.
Weight, route, and equipment records
Send import or export status, container size, gross weight, chassis request, route and receiver access, timing, and unload plan.
Evidence for heavy-container review
Keep gross weight, import status, scale information, route, chassis request, receiver access, appointment, and equipment records.
A tri-axle request versus legal route fit
A tri-axle request does not by itself confirm legal route or equipment fit. Overweight imports are reviewed by fit; export moves should stay legal weight.
How heavy-container work is confirmed
Heavy-container work is confirmed after legal weight, route, chassis fit, equipment, receiver access, scale needs, and import status are checked.
SP Logistics weight guidance
Overweight import and tri-axle moves are reviewed by fit. Export moves should stay legal weight.
| Container | Standard dry | Standard reefer | Tri-axle dry | Tri-axle reefer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20-foot | 38,000 lb | 34,500 lb | 42,000 lb | Not listed |
| 40-foot | 44,000 lb | 41,500 lb | 48,000 lb | 44,000 lb |
| 45-foot | 44,000 lb | 41,500 lb | 44,000 lb | 44,000 lb |
These figures are SP Logistics planning guidance, not a legal-weight determination or guaranteed acceptance. Final fit depends on axle distribution, chassis, route, receiver access, equipment, scale information, and current capacity.
Weight, chassis, route, and receiver support
Keep weight, route, chassis, receiver, scale, import status, and equipment records together.
Send the weight and chassis details
Include gross weight, import status, route, chassis or tri-axle request, receiver access, scale need, and appointment.
