    Good day everyone I bought a 1999 double axle Sterling A9500 I was thinking about driving it down myself but I do not have a CDL license I want to know if there's a different and gross weight if you drive it without it being hitched to a container and if that particular truck will be in my legal weight class they sent me a picture of the gross weight one had 15,000 and the next 32, on it trying to figure out if the 15 men's unhinge weight

    By "unhinge" do you men the truck's actual weight without a trailer attached?

    Mostly that's called "bobtail".
