Truck Specs and gvwr

I don't know about all the states but there are some like AZ that will not let you go over if the load can be divisible. In other words if you can reduce the load you'll do that first before any permit is issued.

 

I'm either at 92K ish, or empty. "Here's my license, registration, insurance and overweight permit, Officer."

 

Which one is 1A- 99k on 5; 107k on 6; 117k on 7?

 

I

It kinda depends on your specs... those sound like the max in each category.

 

OP, I think your are confusing GVWR with GCWR.

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the amount recommended by the manufacturer as the upper limit to the operational weight for a motor vehicle and any cargo (human or other) to be carried. The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the sum of all GVWRs for each unit in a combination-unit motor vehicle.

 

Depends on the permit purchased. I have annual permits for Iowa and Wisconsin that are good for a year and multiple trips.

 

I think we must be interpreting the OP's question differently, I thought he was asking if his understanding of the weight rating that his tractor has is correct despite the totals exceeding the legal gross.

He was correct in his understanding, and I explained that several combinations which are seen regularly can axle more than they can gross as they and many are rated for far more weight than they will carry with a legal load on the Interstate.

Many States have different weight rules and more or less lenient policies toward permitting than the Federal Rules, I was not attempting to be specific about any State but California.

And in California you can only get an annual permit for exceeding the maximum width and on a lowbed trailer an extra 6000 lbs if it is rated as such; there are no permits for divisible loads and all the real heavy stuff is permitted one load at a time and routed by the permit office.

 

I think everyone here is way over thinking the OP's question.

The OP did say he was going to haul a trailer.

I think the OP was asking if his tractors 52,000lb GVWR rating would still allow him to pull a trailer and gross 80,000lb and the answer to that is yes provide the trailer is rated for the weight beyond the 52,000lb the tractor is rated for (actually the 34,000lb drive axel group + front axle/steer tire rating so 46.,000lb assuming a 12,000lg front axel).

The GVWR rating is just for the tractor and seems fairly standard. It does not include what can be hauled by the trailer. That would be the GCWR of the combination of the truck and trailers GVWR ratings values.

 

No such thing

 

What do you think this is...?




Hint.... annual divisible load overweight permit....

I'm good for 102k in NY ... all year long.
