  1. You usually are not allowed to register for more than the combination weight rating. In addition to being under the gross weight limit you also have to have your load distributed so each axle is under it's limit.

    So then am i okay registering at 59k cause thats my combination weight rating?

  2. I just got off the phone with my uncle who has been a Owner Operator trucker for over 25 years, he says it all depends on what you register the truck at at the DMV... The truck could have a 33k gvw but you can register it at 60k and you'll be fine crossing the scales at 59k, Just as long you don't go over the weight of what the truck is registered for!

  3. Your truck GVWR is 33,000. Probably 23k rear and 10k front. What is the GCVWR? THE "C" is combination. You should be able to license up to the GCVWR that would include the trailer.

    Tell me if I'm following you correctly. My truck has a GVW of 33k. The trailer has a GVW of 26000. So if I'm following you correctly, the GCVWR is 59k. Would i be able to register it for 59k for my total GVW for the truck and trailer?

    The tarasport is a "Lighter" duty trailer meant to be towed by single axle trucks.

  4. I heard that through one of my friends and it just sounded fishy... Why would the Factory put a gvw of 33k and then you can just go to the DMV and register it for more?? Didn't make sense so i just wanted to check.

  5. My truck (International 4400) has a factory gvw of 33000. Is it true if you register it at the DMV for more weight and you put stickers on the side of the truck that are more then 33000 DOT can't do anything about it if your over the 33000 pound mark because you have it registered for more weight.....

  6. It was an overhead crane in doors all the time. I asked what they preferred and the said chains and binders over straps. I had corner protectors and put them under the chains... Everything went ok, I broke my landing gear handle, broke a bead on a trailer tire, got harassed by Randy :) JK!!!! But everything went well! Pics coming soon. If you like my face book page you've seen them already.

  7. I was reserving comment that it may be time for you're rigging division to add a twin screw tractor to you're fleet or at least if you can get enough of this type of work to pay for it.

    Well the fellow who called me just signed a contract down in north carolina for a oil pipeline... Ill add more details when and if i get the job... Crossing my fingers.

  8. I have a quote to move a crane boom it's 50ft long, 35000 lbs. it's only moving 2 miles from one side of the construction site to the other side. How would I go about securing it to my trailer? I have chains and binders just wondering what's the best way to secure it.

    Here's a pic of the truck and trailer

  9. Ah ive delt with Jay a couple times before when i was looking for a B model "Before i have mine now" he really isnt reliable. Doesnt return phone calls. I told jay to send the people a offer for the truck and it took him almost a week to contact me back and said the truck was sold... Not a fan of him at all....

    Truck looks good, But not worth 10k, about 6500 at most.
