Class B Trucks
When driving a Class B truck (for a company) are you required to enter scales? And do you have to keep a log book?

Yes you need to enter scales.
Yes you need log book unless your under 120 miles in your home state for the day. Then you still need to keep a time/report sheet that shows where you loaded/unloaded/at what times. |
how much weight per axle?

Quote:
You can have up to 20,000 lbs on the steer axles if it and the tires are rated for that much. Most trucks however are more in the area of 12,000 lbs. A single rear axle is 20,000 lbs Tandem axles less than 10 feet apart is 34,000 Tandem rear axles more than 10 feet apart is 20,000 per axle. |
Thanks guys

My friends company just got shut down because his guys were driving 12000# panel vans with no DOT cards or class c permits - BIG fines. |

West Virginia will allow more, Can't remember how much, but you have to make sure your apportioned registration has your max gvw or you will be out of luck. Tennessee, I dunno. Maybe you will get lucky and the blue bandit will swing by and be able to answer that one :) It goes without saying but, You can under no circumstances go over your GVW printed on that sticker on your door. |
