How Much Ductile Iron Pipe Can Ship on One Truck?

This table gives a breakdown of how many pipe of each size can fit on a truck. Each row of pipe in a bundle no matter the size weighs about 5000 pounds. Some jobs require multiple sizes of pipe, and we can create custom bundles with different sizes of pipe to be shipped in the same load.

Dimensions of a Truckload

Weight isn’t the only thing to consider. We also need to make sure the load can fit under overpasses on the freeway and isn’t too wide for the lanes it will travel in. The maximum height for a truck is 13 feet and 6 inches. The max bundle height we can put on a trailer is 102” tall, and it can’t be wider than 96”. If these rules are ignored the trucker will receive a fine.

Number of Pipe per Truckload. 40,000 / 45,000 LBS.

ELD’s and On Time Deliveries

Effective December 18, 2017 Electronic Logging Devices, or ELD’s are required on the trucks of all professional truck drivers and commercial motor carriers to easily track Hours of Service (HOS) compliance.

The ELD law is intended to help create a safer work environment for drivers, and make it easier and faster to accurately track, manage, and share RODS (Record of Duty Status) data. As part of the MAP-21 Act, Congress required adoption of the ELD law.

The ELD law creates a situation where there is no room or flexibility on extended driving time. If there are delays such as mechanical issues, weather, traffic, job site issues, etc, those count into the drivers hours and can delay target delivery times.
