I feel the biggest hurdle for adoption of multi axle trucks with high payload capacity is the existing Law-transporter nexus.
You can buy a cheap truck, carry twice the load its made for by paying "hafta" every month, why bother with large trucks.
If the transport and payload rules are enforced, then the transporters will need to get bigger trucks.
One of my cousins has a transport company. He was telling me if they go for a big truck(huge investment) it will be loss making because all other transporters will do same payload on a much smaller truck and get away by paying a small bribe.
Even by sticking to all laws, unless bribe is paid at checkposts, transporters cannot move forward.
On an average half the time is spent by trucks at checkposts.
Unless there is a major overhaul of the transportation administration, I do not see multi-axle trucks coming anytime soon the the mainstream.
