NDS said: (quoted from post at 11:44:56 07/22/10) Rusty I am curious as to why you think a tractor with 12000 lb. official shipping weight (bare tractor) will load 14000 lb. GVWR trailer that probaly weigh 3000/4000 empty to twice its capacity. I have seen lots of similar rigs cross scales and be given green light without hesitation.
On interstate system weights are set by Federal regulations and 23 CFR 658.17 (f) says.....Except as provided herein, States may not enforce on the Interstate System weight limits of less 20,000 lbs. on single axle, 34000 lbs. om a tandem axle, or the weights derived from the bridge formula, up to a maximum of 80,000 lbs., including all enforcement tolerances. States may not limit tire loads to less than 500 lbs. per inch of tire tread width, except that that such limits may not be applied to tires on the steering axle. States may not limit steering axle weight to less than 20,000 lbs. or the axle rating established by the manufacturer, whichever is less. For complete Federal Weight limits do Google search for "23 CFR 658.17".
You are underestimating the weight of the gooseneck trailer. Mine has a shipping weight of 5,200#.
As for the rest of your statement, just try explaining all of that to an IOWA D.O.T officer. He will esplain it right back to you, but in much more costly terms.

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers .
