Well, that depends on what it's pulling. The federal law allows a max weight of 80,000 lbs., including for double trailers. Some states will allow a truck pulling doubles to gross 92,000 within that state. They can haul as much weight legally as a tandem axle tractor-trailer can, so long as they remain within legal axle weights.

How many pennies can fit in a semi truck?

In most US states, a semi can only weight 80,000 lbs fully loaded, and for a long-haul truck, that rarely allows more than about 47,000 lbs of cargo... So, a truck could legally carry about seven million of the old copper pennies, or about eight and a half million on the newer zinc ones.But... If you didn't have to worry about the weight, you could fit over two hundred fifty-five million pennies into a standard 53 foot van trailer.The trailer would collapse, though... Just the pennies would weigh over half a million pounds - more than seven fully loaded semi's!
