GVW and additional tags

As far as I am aware the tag axles are to spread the weight of the whole truck so there is less damage to the roads.

Also GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Ratio means the maximum total weight of the vehicle and cargo plus driver and personal effects.

GVW = Gross Vehicle Weight it may seem picky by it does make a difference.

UVW = unloaded weight also called dry weight or tare weight, meaning the vehicle or trailer or both as it was rolling off the factory floor. ( without fluids hence Dry Weight).

CCC = Cargo Carrying Capacity, Meaning the total cargo weight the vehicle and or trailer can carry including liquids driver and personal belongings and equipment. Put another way if you take a Dry Weight any thing you add to it becomes part of your CCC. Which also reduces your overall for hire cargo weight.

Should be able to haul 24-26 ton...

 

they may be more expensive. but you don't have to haul a trailer to pull the same weight.

there is a company in phoenix. that expended their operations and came to salt lake with those trucks. they haul for the same rate as the locals. $60 an hour but can haul more then the locals. which would need their trailers and an added hourly charge for that trailer to haul as much.

they came to salt lake to haul the concrete for the 2 new freeways salt lake is building. apparently concrete is cheaper then asphalt. even though it's thicker. but it sure don't seem to last long.

not saying your situation would be the same scenario. but it's something to think about.

 

why would you want to pay more for your equipment, haul more per load for the same hourly rate.

 

Trucker math and logic I suspect.
