I just bought a new 3500 C/C truck for the business. For reasons that we don't need to go into here, I am driving it from the dealership to my...
This post saved me a huge surprise when going to pick up my trailer...or worse first time getting weighed/inspected. This is the kind of post...
Sorry for the late reply on this: If DOT weighs you connected as a rule, then that leads me to the following question (and it is probably very...
Both of you...well said. I have to admit, I am very attracted to getting into this in general, virus be ######. You are your own boss...you sink...
I'm riding that fine line between a good used truck that the odds favor you and making a mistake. I hear you...I tried a 2012 that, with all the...
Everything you have said in this post is what I'm finding..go figure :). You asked my operating expenses, that's $1.20/mile. If I am close to...
Thanks for the reply. I am open to suggestions but most of these trucks start out at 8000 LB base weight in crew cab (3500/350) Trailers (dual 7ks...
Out of SC. Couple of trailers fit the bill, Big Tex and Hefty. The 7100 LB was a used 2012 diesel with 10k miles on it. It also had a GVWR or...
Understand 100%. I have calculated my start up costs to include insurance. It is expensive for sure. I am asking the truck related questions...

You are right on what I can haul after all is said and done (life of a non-CDL): Truck actual weight estimated is 7700 (listed is 7100) Sleeper...
Well, I'm going with chassis cab (84" C/A) so i can put a sleeper on there. I know the argument for just retrofitting the backseat in a crew cab...
And so the reason I am here. I was hoping someone here had been through this. I called state DOT and they weren't sure. It is frustrating for...
I agree 100%. So, as far as you know, being chassis cab don't matter spit as long as the GVWR (and/or actual weight when weighed) of both truck...
I agree this answer is not correct. Thanks for this clarification. The subtlety between sleeping as a team in an operating truck (which I can...
OK. For sure, the truck will be a 13,200 GVWR and the trailer will be 12,800 GVWR. However, I have heard, off and on, that the 3500 being a...
This is the information I needed. So, the difference is a chassis cab makes the truck and trailer a combination vehicle? Whereas, running with a...
Looking to get started as a non-CDL Hotshot. My plan is to take a RAM 3500 Chassis Cab, place a sleeper on it and run a 40' trailer via...
