Tractor units don't weigh 44 tonnes and their MGW isn't 44 tonnes, either.

I think the legal maximum train weight of a tractor & semi-trailer is 44 tonnes in the UK.

It is 44 tonnes,went from,I think 38 to 44. Depends on size of tractor and trailer also. The unit/trailer will be plated informing you of it's max rolling weight

Your question is stupid. A tractor alone cannot be 44 tonnes - it depends on the trailer, and if you don't know this you should not be driving LGV's
