Weight Capacity

Is this a joke?

 

I have a 2000 W900 N14, 13 speed, 72 inch studio and apu. I can only scale around 45,500 with a 48' combo flat. My former truck was an '07 379 C15, 13 speed 63" bunk and I could scale 47,500 with the same trailer.

 

You can take the same Pete and the same Trailer. Trucker A might scale 48,000 and trucker B can only scale 45000. We all pack around different equipment and different personal items.

I have a 379 and a Big Bubba I can only scale 46500. The next guy with the same set up can scale 48000

 

Engine, transmission, bunk size, steel or aluminum wheels, fuel capacity, wheelbase all factor into what you are asking.

 

Yep, wide open question without all the needed info.
If you really need to haul 48 k by a daycab then. lol

 

They dont pay enough to haul over 45k IMO.

I can scale 46600 cutting cutting back on some fuel. How ever my dispatcher knows, unless its paying over $3 mi dont even book anything over 44500. I wont do it. Not worth the fuel and wear n tear on my truck.

with an 05 w9 isx i could scale 48, with a few equipment items. 48 flat, throw in the step and i could only scale 46,500

i've heard volvo drivers say they can scale 50.

 

03 w9 6nz 18spd 150 gal tanks full,carrier apu full fenders on rear, east flat two boxes and full set tarps 31 winches plus straps 12 3/8 20ft chains 12 4x4,4x3, plus other misc stuff 49000 05 classic midroof 60 series 100 gal tanks full 13spd wet kit ramps headache rack 3 boxes on truck can still do over 51000 easy with that. And doing that with out having to drive a vulva. Plus I can't get my feet on dash not limber enough anymore so they won't let me drive a vulva.

 

I just switched from a 45 to a 48. With the 45 I could scale 48,000 with full tanks. Now I can only do 47,300. Time to shed some weight!
