How am I supposed to be able to drive a 43000 pound load?

Yeah apparently everyone's 567 doesn't weigh 75,000 empty? I thought it was weird too.

 

This has just been a gross misunderstanding

 

I'm trying to understand this... I'm assuming you have your own authority, you're not sure what your truck and trailer weighs, you're not sure how to weigh your truck and trailer, but you did 5 loads and after all of your expenses you have $30,000.

So your profit on those loads after figuring fuel tolls Insurance tags accounting maintenance 2290 and whatever else, you came out with a profit of $6,000 per load.

That's all you make per load?

I won't even put the key in the truck if I can't make $10,000 per load AFTER all expenses.

You have to learn how to not take cheap freight. You're driving the prices down for everyone else.

 

Trust me you just need more axles. That’s what I do and it works every time.

 

Quick question, OP. You say you can't haul a load weighing 43k, because your truck is over 50k.

But you don't seem to have a problem pulling your trailer, which is apparently over 30k, making you illegal empty, which by itself should be...oh I don't know...some kind of indication?

To further complicate matters, you've hauled five loads already. So my question is - how did you haul anything at all, if you're already overweight empty?

You don't know the difference between gross, net, and tare. And that's something not exclusive to driving a truck. I mean you kinda learn that stuff in elementary school.

To top it off, you admitted to hauling cheap freight.

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Either truck better, or troll better, but so far the judges are giving you a 1/10.

 

Even if they're not load-bearing or even really attached to the truck, technically. Amazing what duct tape can do.

 

If you didn't laugh and get the joke when he was talking about his 1500-pound tube CB radio...lol

 

Needs an axle set up like we have in Michigan , problem solved

 

How come your truck weighs 56 000 lb? Is it a standard sleeper cab? Well yes if your truck did indeed weigh 56 000 lb and the trailer weighed another 12 000 lb that would only allow you to tow about 12 000 lb load which makes no sense at all. Best go weigh your tractor and trailer combo empty what ever it weights minus 80 000 lb will be what you can legally load on a trailer. To do a 43 000 lb load the max your empty truck and trailer could be is 37 000 lb.
