Should you add a third axle to your roll-off truck—or stick with a tandem axle?
In this video, we break down the real-world pros and cons of tri-axle vs tandem axle roll-off trucks using two identical Kenworth T880 trucks—one with a third axle and one without.
We cover:
✅ Payload capacity differences (51,000 lbs vs 39,000 lbs)
✅ Tri-axle vs tandem axle GVWR explained
✅ Steerable vs fixed (pusher) third axles
✅ Turning radius, tire wear, and maneuverability
✅ Cost of adding a third axle ($8,000–$12,000 installed)
✅ When a third axle makes sense—and when it doesn’t
If you haul demolition debris, scrap metal, dirt, concrete, rock, or heavy materials, a third axle could be a game changer. If you’re mainly doing C&D debris or refuse, a tandem axle may be all you need.
