I am wondering , how much does a 72 passenger bus weigh when it is empty ? I have several small bridges on my route and they are rated at 5 Tons Max. I have a feeling the bus weighs more than that . Am I correct ?
My uncle who deals in Used Cars, will be very disappointed, because his trucks loaded with cars will not be able to pass that bridge,as the weight will be more then 5 tons.
In the area that Hodgkins, Illinois First Student services near my home, in order to get from the west side of the Des Plaines River to the east side, there are four ways to go two of them are bridges that are rated at 5 tons. I have seen Fire Trucks go over them as well as School Buses. The rating system is the weight of a standing vehicle or weight. Think about it, with a bus you are dividing the weight of the bus with the front and rear axle. Your weight is spread out. By the time the bridge would flex at all from your bus weight, providing that you are not waiting on that bridge for a traffic light, you would be over the bridge on the opposite side. So it is 5 tons per axle.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? You should have a plate with that information on it inside the bus. It usually gives the front and rear weights. But.....empty or not you must go by the rated weight of a full bus. You don't want to get caught going over a 5 ton limit bridge in a bus rated at more than double that.
So with the election coming close show your support. Wear your buttons and campaignT-shirts proudly and outwardly. Give a honk to the organizers when you are returning or leaving the lots. They cissp trainingiseb are there for you and you alone. Better yet take 5 minutes and go and say hi and get the latest news and plans. If you have any final questions just ask one of them. They will give you an honest and complete answer. Something that Durham management and their "union avoidance" law firm won't do!
I have to agree with yellowfan there is a plate in the bus with the information on it for the GVW. Sounds to me that you are not suppose to drive over that bridge.

Yes, this makes sense. But motor vehicle laws for roadways and bridges go by gross vehicle weight. Therefore a vehicle 15 tons GVW going over a bridge rated at less than that is in violation. You are taking a chance using it. As we all know this is mostly ignored by law enforcement but there are some bridges that, as in my area, are very old and under weight for todays traffic.
Anyone that needs to go over any kind of bridge to get from point A to point B is best to check in advance. Remember it is on you as the driver. Not the company.
OK so it comes back to a old question, the driver is responsible for prctically everything. What is the company responsible for? Do they have any responsibility at all? Or are thay there just to collect the money?
