AASHTO design vehicles
(OP)
Do these values incorporate the weight of a fully-loaded vehicles or are they just the empty vehicles.
For instance, the HS20-44 design vehicle has axle weights of 8kip, 32kip, and 32kip. Are these the axle weights for the fully loaded vehicle, or are these the axle weights for the empty vehicle?

RE: AASHTO design vehicles
You are not likely going to find an actual truck matching the exact dimensions/weight. Most oversize trucks have way more axles than does the design vehicle. Even dump trucks have a third back axle that engages with ultra heavy loads.
