What type of semi is this referred to as?

It's called a "hoopie" or a "straight job", depending on what side of the country you're on...a single unit box truck.

 

An F-750 has a GVWR over 26,000 so requires a Class B. Heavy equipment roll-off trailers that you'd move a bobcat around with have GVWR above 10,000 so that makes it a Class A combination.

 

In Memphis they call them a bobtruck, in Michigan we call them a straight truck.

 

You're not telling me anything I don't already know. Yes, and a 26 ft. U-Haul has a GVWR of 26k, and when you add a trailer, you bring it to a GCWR in excess of 26k, and that's supposed to require a CDL, also, since those rental trucks are also considered commercial vehicles. So my question is how is that allowed to fly?

 

On a uhaul site i read empty weight at 12,600 max gvr 20, with a max tow rate of 7,500 the know the rules and run right at them. You could have 2 26' box trucks one like theres at 12,6 mt or a 33,6 gvr that would come in near 18 mt. Its all in how there built witch gives it the rating, you cant tab up a 26 grand truck to 54,9 the chasis cant handle the weight so you cant just up tab. Now if you overload it thats on you for exceeding limits



Edit: i have seen it listed as under 26,000 gvw it says tgis becuse there is no distiction from 10,001 abd 26,001 your either under or over that mark, not at it

 

Or submarine props! eheheh

I drive a class B single axle hauling anodized aluminum in California, I can drive in any lane and it is a no touch load.

 

As long as the truck/powered unit is no more than 26,000 gvwr you don't need a CDL, therefore the towed unit is exempt, provided it is less than 10,000 lbs gvwr, which they make sure you couldn't hook up to the back of a U-Haul if you tried. (No air supply or pintle hook)
