Rule #1 loading/unloading put the tailgate down

Truck only weighs 6000.......GVWR (dually) is 11,400 - truck actually weighs about 7,000. Add together the GVWR for your truck and the GVWR for the trailer - the total should not be more than the GCVWR for the truck. Cops do NOT weigh any more. They do the formula and if you are over, it's ticket city (plus thay may make you park if you are a bunch over). Remember 26,000 & below most states require Chauffers license 26,001 & up, you need a CDL
