Weigh your truck and trailer, with all your gear, full tank of fuel and you in it, then subtract that number from 26k, and you know how much cargo room you have, provided you don't exceed your axle ratings.

What kind of truck? I may using my '92 F350 this Spring. I can haul a combined weight of 16000#. I have a few months to find a light weight trailer. -
I am looking at a 97 f350 drw cc with a 7.3 diesel curb of 8900lbs with me in it and a 5 ton trailer with a empty weight of 4,630 lbs leaving me with around 12.000lbs of hauling room.

If you don't have your authority and insurance, state registrations for states you operate in, and fuel taxes in place. You are not legally qualified to haul loads for hire. Sorry Champ, but shipping wars isn't real.

-
Other then insurance and^^^^ i should be all right??

FMCSA will walk you through it.
Fast9Line Thanks this. -
You gotta have everything a big truck has to have.
Again, if your truck has a GVWR of 14,000 lb, your trailer rated at 10,000 lb that's a total of 24,000 lb (GVWR).
Weigh your truck & trailer, full of fuel, with all your equipment & yourself. If your truck weighs 5,000 lb & your trailer weighs 5,000 lb, (GVW) subtract your GVW from your GVWR.
Hence:
24,000 GVWR
10,000 GVW
14,000 Total weight you can carry.
For reference
GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GVW = Gross Vehicle WeightFast9Line Thanks this. -
Youll still have to abide by most regulations that a truck driver has to
