Generally it depends on the type of truck. But If you are talking about a tractor trailer combination, Generally a dual tandem axle tractor connected to a 48 ft. or 53 ft. trailer (most common sizes). the total Gross Vehicle weight fully loaded cannot be more than 80,000 Lbs. on U.S. highways. Their are trucks that can pull more weight but they are specialized to carry more weight and generally need a special permit and a police escort to drive on U.S. highways, but The most commonly used tractor trailers are as stated above far as sizes go, whether they are flatbeds, dry box, "reefers" (refrigerated units), Tankers, or shipping containers.

All 80,000 LBS. total truck weight to drive legally without a permit and a police escort on US highways.

Hope this helps a little ;)
