I recently drove a truck-tractor from a fleet company with a 20k front axle, and 38k rears. The GVWR of the tractor was only 23,587. How does this work out? And how can the EXACT same truck with a dump body instead of a 5th wheel hitch be rated with a GVWR of 80k? Are the tractors rated at a lower weight because the trailer gets them to 80k GCWR, and insurance and plates would be cheaper? Thanks for any help.
