Not so much mulligans but they do carry higher weights which is why they have to have three axles in their trailers.
A 2 axle trailer allows for 80,000 lbs.
3 axles can haul 89,000.
It is not uncommon for cane trucks to haul over 100,000 lbs. But you never hear of them getting an over weight.

If you know absolutely zero about trucking, you shouldn’t post like you do.
Cane trailers, with the addition of a 3rd axle are permitted 100,000 lbs in Louisiana. To absolutely stop overloads, the scales at the mill DO NOT register anything over 100k.
In the rare event a trailer is overloaded, the farmer gets a notification on his mill reports on how many overloads he had.
How many farmers you think want to give free crop to the mill?

Cane trucks are allowed to haul 100,000 lbs max. It was an agreement between the growers, haulers, mills, and police. They were originally allowed to carry more, but they lowered it to 100,000 because it was destroying the trucks.
