    So how does this work on a 2290 I always pay 550 for gvw 75k or more so in all reality I could add my axle up have it under 55k and pay nothing on my 2290

    Actually you could run 20k without w permit if you can get it up there. I've got a picker that runs 19980 on the steer full of fuel I have never had to permit it. 20k is most states single axle limit unfortunately most OTR trucks are way too long to get much over 12k up front.

    I agree sir, I jus purchased a 2009 Kenworth T 300 box truck, 28.5 ft bed with a lift gate, rated at 52k and the way it looks as I keep reading response, the sky is the limit for us, up to 80k lbs, although it is very unlikely anybody will be hauling anywhere near 80k lbs of anything in a 28.5 ft box, so I think we good bro! ✊

    55k is the ideal limit for 28.5 ft box with lift gate, I wouldn't go over that at all..

    Would be all fine and dandy until you go in to register it. Registration purposes all the weight goes on the truck.
