Handles it just fine. 8K tags on the truck. 10K tags on the trailer. I won't buy a truck that requires more than 8K tags because there is no safety inspections that way. 10K or more and you need a safety inspection every 6 months, and there have been years I didn't fuel the truck that often. I run 10 ply tires to handle the weight, and with sway bars front & rear it isn't the least bit squirrely.

My 2017 Ram for example, it’s registered for 10k, but the axle ratings add up to somewhere north of 12k. By the registered weight I can put 2500 lbs in it, but I can tow about 16k and some change.JohnnyEWR, Stubby T Slapnutt and Pedigreed Bulldog Thank this. -

I'm still looking for a good used roll off trailer I'm just trying to understand how often I would haul more than 9 tons

Just dont take concrete or dirt loads and you will be fine. A 20 yd full of asphalt shingles is 6 to 8 tons.
