June 15, 201411 yr I asked this in the cassava forum, but no one answered. Someone must know on average how many tonnes of cassava a ten wheel truck carries. Sent from my i-mobile IQ 6 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

June 16, 201411 yr Just curious, are you trying to figure out how much cassava it takes to fill a 10 wheel truck? If the truck is licensed to carry 15 tons you still don't know. These trucks carry sand dirt, corn, gravel....and a full load of each of these will weigh more than a load of cassava. I would try to watch a few full trucks go through the scales and see how much a full load weighs. Or maybe someone here know the total weight of their crop and how many truck load they had hauled.. Unless they are going out on the highway, I doubt the drivers look too closely at the limits. This interests me as someday I may have to decide about renting a truck.
June 16, 201411 yr No sure if you mean the fresh tubors or the dried chips. The latter being lighter. Round our way the big trucks are only used by the companies that chip and dry and mostly to deliver the chips to the mill. The average etan/tuk tuk holds around 3 tons of fresh tubors. On that basis I would think the big twin trailer trucks would carry well over 20 tons but that is just guesswork.
June 16, 201411 yr Author In our area the cassava is taken to a distribution point where it is loaded into 10 wheel trucks, still fresh non dried, non chipped, and delivered to the cassava factory, I was just curious how many tonnes these held. What I really want to know is how many kilos are in a loosely packed cubic metre of cassava. Sent from my i-mobile IQ 6 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

June 30, 201411 yr Sugar haulers typically haul about 20-25 tons per truck. 50 tons for a rig with a trailer as well.
