I've never heard of a 2500 lb. axle. 3500 lb. are common though. A basic 3/4 ton is usually good for hauling around 10,000lbs.

A trailer with 2 3500 lb. axles is good for 7000 lbs. total weight, including the trailer. However, when the trailer is attached to the truck, the truck carries some of the weight as tongue load, and the 7000 lb. maximum can be exceeded by a little bit. Maybe 1000 to 1500 lbs. A lot of times the DOT goes by tire ratings. I know they do on larger trucks like 3 tons and up. Dave
