Dot# & Fmcsa
Any trucks with GVWR or truck/trailer with GCWR of over 10,000# and being used for commercial purpose during interstate will require DOT numbers. Steve, can road flares be substituted for triangles? -

Bought a new tilt bed 9999lb. gvw
Atgreene, if I were the one who spent $7K and something like that happened, there is no way I would let that slide by. When we buy equipment, we should expect that it to meet/exceed its specifications and the rated capacity, not a bit less. Don't let the manufacturer go without notice about this... -

Bought a new tilt bed 9999lb. gvw
Or you were very lucky, dayexco. I doubt it was equipment abuse. It got bend on the first day he took delivery. He showed a picture of his excavigator on the trailer first day. There are times when we have had a series of bad lucks. Unfortunately this kind of stuff happen. Atgreene, I am... -

Door dimensions on Kenworth T800
That's a nice rig. It seems that 4,000 gallons tankers are getting more popular than ever. How many GPM can it pump? Can't beat the sound of that Federal Q-2 siren. :yup -

Class A truck-trailer combo
Well I looked up the SAFER website and here is what I found: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?section=390.21 http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.asp?section=390.5#49CFR390.5_cmv In the second... -

Class A truck-trailer combo
So as long as I am within my truck rated GCWR, then DOT cannot do anything with me, correct? Is there any requirement for NYDOT or USDOT number though? -

Class A truck-trailer combo
nedly05, you are correct. It was my misunderstanding. I have been doing some researching and when I read something about this truck-trailer combo thing, so then I posted about it. But later on I continue researching in greater depth and guess what, I found out something that alot of us probably... -

Class A truck-trailer combo
How big of a difference is it between the testing/licensing requirement of a truck-trailer and tractor-trailer? If I am understanding correctly, the Class A truck-trailer combo would allow me to pull a 10,001+ lbs. GVWR trailer with a pickup, dump, bucket truck, etc. as long as it is not the... -

Dump trailer suggestion
I am still undecided what I will want to do this year, but I don't think I'll expect to be hauling heavy equipment, so I may be looking at deckover dump trailer. Probably 6x10 or 7x12. I think it might be a better setup because of more ground clearance, take less room to manuever, and supposely... -

Dump trailer suggestion
Sounds like I could register it lower at 10K but I better find out for sure about the CDL part. You brought up a good point. Actually I just pulled out the NYS CDL manual and here is what it said: ".... provided that the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or GCWR of vehicle(s) being towed is... -

Dump trailer suggestion
If I get a trailer with GVWR of 12K (for example), can it be legally registered for 10K? I do not know what the law in NYS allow about registering below the manufacturer's GVWR. Or would I need to have the manufacturer/dealer change the paperwork down to 10K? -

Dump trailer suggestion
This is the actual pricing from my local trailer manufacturer, Heavy Hauler. Since they sell directly to me, the cost is much lower. They really do build good trailers, it's just their design of dump trailer that I did not like. I'd appreciate any recommendation on size and rating of trailer... -

Dump trailer suggestion
I just would like to say thank you for your time and effort to participate in this thread. I've learned alot and it has helped me narrow down my options. I had it down to two models and made some calls for pricing. After I got the pricing, I did the math and add up the options and tax, but in... -

Rick, your trailer looks good. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. ;) 15" of ground clearnce is pretty impressive comparing to mine. :yup Only thing I still don't like is the 15" D rated tires on a 12K trailer. :eek2 Most other manufacturers I've checked has 15" D rated on 10K, but for the... -

Dump trailer suggestion
Steve, you're right that moving back axles will increase tongue weight, but it seems that most other dump trailer manufacturers I've seen has axles moved back. How comes do they design that? I guess it mean they have stiffer springs? I understand that on dump trailer the load are spreaded out...
