truck over 5 ton requires med card. Truck with trailer rated over 5k ton and combined over 26 ton gcwr require class a cdl. Doesnt have to weigh that. Depends on how its registered. But you are clearly at medical card weight
rachi and slow.rider Thank this. -

What's the gcwr of the truck? Should be on the same sticker as the gvwr.
Or Add the gcwr of the truck and trailer. Then subtract the actual weight. Whatever you get is payload capacity.
Truck gvwr 12300
Trailer 12000
Gcwr would be 24300
Actual weight 15960 with empty trailer
Max legal payload 8340Last edited: May 5, 2021
