First dump truck

Did you actually weigh the truck?

 

The pits may have scales.

 

You need a tape measure and the weights and measures regulations for your state or states you are running. Seems like every state has different regulations. It's all based on number of axles and spacing

 

Check to see if you have a suspension gauge on the dash. Scale your first load and look to see what the gauge is registering. That should give you a good ballpark for future loads.

 

If you're buying from a private party they should know what the empty weight is.

If you're buying from a dealer ask if you can drive the truck to a quarry and get on a scale.

The last thing you want to do is buy a truck that's too heavy and can't carry the weight that you need.

 

You need to know the weight of the truck unloaded and full of fuel and what your state weight limits are.

The truck may have a GVW of 56k but you likely will not be able to haul that much. All depends on the weight laws where you haul.

 

doubt it probably on pos camelback

24k seems light for a heavy spec 10 wheeler last Mack heavy spec Mack I drove with 20 front at 58 rears was 28 and change, could get 22 ton on it.
