I pull a 140,000 pound grain trailer setup but that's legal. Heard a few years ago a heavily trafficked bridge was deemed unsafe. So strict weight limits were imposed.. something like no more than 20 tons. It was in an area of several construction outfits and ag outlets so there had always been constant truck traffic.
