What is the maximum GVW of an F550 ? I don’t think the DOT will care about larger tires and air ride.
nice one - MOD EDIT
Let's take a minute and relax. No need to start throwing insults.
Shadow there are some very valid points bringing up the risk you are accepting for your company by knowingly overloading a vehicle beyond the manufacturers specifications.
There is no way that I would assume the liability for my company. Our commercial auto policy this year was almost the same amount as our GL..I have never seen that in 25 years of owing a small company. Insurance agent said it was the ambulance chasing lawyers suing commercial vehicles for fender benders. A fender bender averages $6K to settle now.
We are having to institute an insurance company mandated driver safety program that goes beyond our safety policy. One of my super's got a ticket a couple of months ago for going 5 miles over the limit on I-20. Insurance company has him on a watch list and if he gets another moving violation within 6 months, he will not be able to drive a company vehicle...
You are assuming a tremendous amount of risk that more than likely will not be covered by your insurance policy, something that could cost you the entire company. It's just the sue happy society we live in. I 4
