International Transport is 40T. Correct.

UK is 44t on 6 axles. France is 44t on 5 axles, 45T on 6 axles,
BUT internationally, that is between the two countries, it is still 40T.

Do they have 9 tons or more per trailer axle permissable?, because if not and they’re on standard 8 ton trailer axles it would be almost impossible to not have axle overloads @ 44t, aslo what are the typical 2 axle tractor axle weights in France please?

Can be awkward enough on 6 axles UK if you have a small wheeled mid lift (given how many have no idea how or why its important to correctly place a sliding 5th wheel), which in some cases is only plated at 4.6 tons or so and easy to overload.

Tous les véhicules terrestres à moteur de transport de marchandises sont autorisés à circuler jusqu’à 44 tonnes en configuration minimale 5 essieux dans les limites de charges à l’essieu suivantes : - 12 tonnes pour l’essieu moteur (porteur ou tracteur 4x2) - 27 tonnes pour un groupe de trois essieux (remorque ou semi- …

27T for 3 axle group.
12T on drive of 2 axle unit.

Get your tape measure out when you next park by an EU trailer. (Or just look closely)
Check the distance from rear trl axle to rear of trailer> it`ll be slightly less than a UK standard trl for a tri unit.
EG more load weight is on the tri-axle group of an EU trl, and less on the pin.
