    No! The max your vehicle can legally handle is 26,000 lbs. At 28,000 you're overweight.

    Trailer on dump makes it a restricted A due to combination vehicle. Its also presumes Class B already possesses airbrakes.

    I don't mean restricted A as in cannot drive anything A over something like that it's just that most anyone running anything usually has a full A CDL anyhow.Usually. Not always. With the exception of our esteemed northern Maryland yankees who consider those who apply to run Class B with Class A over qualified.

    The truck can weigh anything. The trailer can weigh no more than 10k.
    Examples: class b with passenger endorsement, you can drive 25, 50, 100 morbidly obese passengers. You can't do that if they're in a trailer.
    You have a box truck, put as much in as you can. If you need more room, your trailer can't weigh more than 10k

    If you want to pull a heavy trailer, get a class A.

    100 morbidly obese passengers.

    *Quickly calculates the net cargo... 40,000 pounds? Plus maybe 10 or more thousand?

    You will not longer be driving a bus, you would be driving a very tall mr tippy at those weights. HA...

    What is the weight of the truck and the weight rating?
    Cargo capacity the the difference of the two.

    There is no actual limit of the tractor on class B license, it's all up to the state. I've seen class B trucks weigh in at 100,000 lbs (cranes). Most are limited by the national 80k limit on interstates though.
