    Maxi loads? You mean "Maxi" trailers? Set up to hold maximum freight volume. Light loads that only weigh minimal lbs. Usually 57' long, thin walls etc.

    trailers desinged to hold above 48k in frieght

    these are the 57' long, 4 alxe flats you see in the northwest, or less commonly the tridem step decks

    sad part is i know guys who load them to thier max (86k in MT for 6, 92k for 7, 106k for 8) and they pay LESS per 100 wieght than a normal flat
    seems smart to me, add wieght, lower pay and add wear and tear......solid BP there

    In the NW, a Maxi is a 53' quad flat deck pulled by a quad tractor. Both units have a liftable self steering axle.
