Not at all uncommon, though my experience is with equipment rather than general containerized or palletized cargo.

e.g. a CAT D8T bulldozer weighs in at over 80,000lbs all on its own and they are often trucked around as a complete unit, so you're looking at 20-35,000 more for the trailer and tractor to haul it. Heavier pieces of equipment like D9's (108,000#) or D10's (145,000#) are generally 2-3 loads of chassis/tracks/blade&attachments.



Just an aside, a D9 is a real hellbeast. I got to drive one on some forestry work and there's not much out there that makes it stop moving. Gives me a stiff willy just thinking about it.


Both the CAT D9 and the Tesla Model 3 Performance advertise 450 HP.
