What's the max weight of loads for dry van?

Whenever I get a new truck, I weigh the tractor will all my gear and 1/2 tank of fuel. Most of our composite trls are 14550 and I can usually scale 45,000 if loaded right. The trl weight is on the registration in the bill box.

 

There's SO much I could riff about your wife's weight, but I'll obstain...

 

With all the emissions crap, these new trucks, even daycabs are heavy. My Mack sleeper, as it sits with all my gear and full tanks is almost 19,000. Our daycabs are pushing 17,000 with full tanks.

 

Yup, model for mode,l truck for truck, I found trucks gained about 500lbs with the introduction of emissions equipment.

 

Yeah I always scale it again. Every model every year is different. Why don't most drivers get that?

 

survival of the fittest

 

Our company trucks and trailers can pull right around 48k and still scale put legal there all speced to be really light and that's with a apu and everything as well

 

You can find day cabs weighing 13,500 lb: http://m.trailer-bodybuilders.com/archive/lightweight-international-9200i-sheds-almost-1500-pounds

You can get a dry van weighing as little as 11,400 lb: http://www.stricktrailers.com/dryvantrailers/100lightweightdryvan-trailer.aspx

So 54,000 lb minus fuel and driver...
