What is the legal max for wagon and drag

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Hi Mate we are based in devon near exeter and we charge £130 per cubic metre ,If you are selling a quality product then you should be charging accordinly.

 

and yet the next city down the A38 is half that; it seems so unfair

David Norman gets 26t on his 6 wheeler+drag so it's around there i'd say. wagon+drag usually has an extra bunk than an artic.

Biggest gross weight is 44 tonnes, that includes the weight of the truck and trailer. Timber weight will depend on vech but likely to be 23-27 tonnes.

 

£500 for a load is still very good value.

no its not, look up STGO

Seems to apply to indivisible loads, so not applicable to a load of wood.

Exactly:

Transports Friend - Authorisation of Special Types (General Order 2003) - STGO

 

No way timber haulage would comply with STGO requirements unless it was a single large trunk. Even then most timber trailers only have two or three axles, usually 9t each, thats not enough for most STGO from memory.
