Weight
Most trucks with sleeper has GVW about 32-33K lbs+ 10K trailer=42-43K. A lot of loads which I find by I-net brokers are 40-45Klbs. This is overweight. How o/o can accept loads like this?

2. Use an aluminum trailer (but they won't last as long as a combo or all steel) 3. Don't put alot of uneccessary stuff on your truck. |
I can put a 45k load on my truck. My truck weighs almost 21k, but some of our trailers(4000 series) are REALLY light.

Unless you have one of the really large sleepers your tractor should not weigh that much. I would say the average weight for a tractor and trailer is less than 35,000 pounds. Most should be around 31-33M which would make it easy to scale at least 45,000 pounds or more. You should be able to scale at least 45,000 pounds. You never want to take a load which you know is going to be over weight. |

wieght
my T-600 along with 53' cattle pot is 32,120 empty full of fuel (permitted for 85500) I can haul 47,880 and gross 80k, 53,380 for my 85,500.

I got my HHG trailer and tractor under 40K once.
(2nd trailer I was running, 1/2 the amount of pads, no walkboards, no dollies). Normally its 42/43K. My 2006 Freightliner Columbia was 18K and change fully fueled. |
