Tiny International tractor inadequate?

Look in the door jamb for the GCWR decal. I highly doubt it’s anywhere close to what you need. There’s no way I’d ever put that light of tractor in front of that much weight. A 6-spd is the first indicator of the truck’s intended use.

You’ll be the one responsible for any ramifications, should something go sideways. Don’t put yourself in that position. If the company doesn’t want to do things right, don’t be a part of that company. Your CSA score/record goes everywhere with you and will directly affect your ability to get future employment. Don’t risk that, your life, or anyone else’s life.

 

Assuming you’re moving loaded trailers there’s no way that truck was made for it and personally I would not take it off of private property. Best case you’re only overweight on axles and gvw, worst case (and I would put money on it) is it’s overloaded to the point of being dangerous

 

It's okay for just a yard horse for moving trailers around a yard, but any road travel, could be risky. Now, moving companies generally don't deal with a lot of weight, so you might be okay, unless they want some backhaul of 40 grand, ask me how I know,,,

 

International has always built a tough truck!

 

If it's a class 8 single axle semi there's no reason it can't haul a multi axle trailer as long as the axles aren't over loaded. Should be 12000lbs for the steer and 20000lbs for the drive axle. Although with a 6 speed trans it might be a slow go lol

 

This industry is filled with “smarter than everybody else BillyBob’s”…. In different ways…handing you inadequate and demanding you perform miracles. It’s you that has to do it. Not them.
Think about it.
Can give tons of examples.

 

The company wont replace the 6 speed as long as someone is driving it for them. Even if the company pays any fines they cannot take away the PSP points that attach to your record.
