Mr. Ejaz Khan,
I know that 8.2T is per axle. That is why massive loads are hauled by multi-axle trucks, which often
reduces the per axle load to less than 8.2T. Even this varies axle to axle depending on the positioning
of the load.
Regards,
Partha

Partha, 8.2 tons are actually the single axle load not the total weight of the truck or commercial
vehicle. Regards, -----------------------...

There had been so many discussions on the damage to pavement by overloading. I have a basic suggestion.
