This is probably going to get complicated but here goes. I�m toying with the idea of hauling a piece of equipment from NJ through PA and into NY. The item weighs 14000lbs. I have a 9-ton trailer, which is registered in NY for 18000 Lbs. The trailer weighs 4000lbs empty is tri axle and has good brakes on all wheels. I have either a � ton Dodge diesel pickup register at 8800 lbs or a 1 ton Dodge diesel dually register at 18000 lbs. to pull it. The � ton has a class 5 hitch. The 1-ton only a class 3 hitch. Both are standard transmissions. The � ton has been tweaked and has more power.
I have hauled 12000 lbs with the � ton and trailer combo for short distances before and been comfortable with it. I have a normal class D NYS license, which as I understand allows me to drive a single vehicle not exceeding 26000 lbs or a truck trailer combo not exceeding 26000 lbs.
I know most of you will recommend not trying this at all and to be honest I probably will NOT do it, but for curiosity sake if nothing else, what kind of legal trouble can I get into?
