1-Ton weights?

You only need IRP and ifta if crossing state lines.

 

You may need an apportioned plate. Check with the DOT there and make sure. If not, you can do a combined registration (at least you can in PA) which lists the truck at 30,500. You will also need a Commercial Drivers License, a Motor Carrier number and a DOT number. As you note, you also need IFTA stickers and to do the quarterly reporting.

 

1. Use the sticker on the door frame and fine the Gross Weight of the truck. 11,400 on mine.
2.Find the Gross Weight on the trailer frame. 14,500 on mine.
3. Add the Gross of the truck plus the Gross of the trailer. 25,900.
4. GCW - the weighted weight of the truck plus the trailer. 14,900.
5. 25,900 - 14900 = 11,000.
6. None of the axle weights can be greater the the weights listed on the sticker for each axle. Also the weight on each axle must be less then then combined weight when you add the ratings on your tires for that axle.

 

Be careful just adding the stickered weights. Mine add up to 29000, but the truck actually has a GCWR of 26000 lbs. The GCWR is published by truck's manufacturer and is different from the towing capacity.

 

Flatbed is correct...For a more accurate measure, make sure when you weigh the truck with the trailer and equipment that you will always have with you, be sure that the truck is fueled completely. My IRP plates are for 45,000 GVWR, which means I can put 15,800 on the trailer, but most of my loads I try to keep at 12,000 or less for less wear and tear on the equipment and pocket book.
