Hogrunnin thats nearly 24k, surprized you ddn't break the 6ktrailer with 19.2k. 2004lb7 class a lic is for a combination vehicle ie truck trailer with a gross weight of 26001lbs or greater. Class b is for any single vehicle 26001lbs. Then you get into all sorts of endorsemnts from there air brakes/hazmat/tanker/double-tripples trailers. I asked my neighbor how much his truck weighed empty 34,680lbs thats heavier then the mack truck and flatbed trailer I drove for work, when empty.!!!

With my personal truck?



8500 lb trailer. CGWVR somewhere around 16,000 LBS ?

At work?



(that's just a pic I grabbed off the web)

Total weight? Dunno, somewhere north of 50-60 tonnes?

yes, we have 8ft ramps that go to the trailer from the rack and they slide right into the bed..we have a winch now but before we would just drive the car on there..a bit sketchy

Great white, that would be 17000lbs+/- for the tracter 15-20000lbs for the trailer and 40-50000lbs for the tank fo a grand total of 72-87000lbs estimated weight just guessing.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

then again on second look probably closer to your estimate of 50-60ton, ask the driver!
