I thought it was the GVW of over 26k lbs that made it a class A CDL requirement... as long as the GVW is below 26k you can run non cdl... D-rate the 40' trailer... is this correct?
The numbers are 26,000 or up requires a class A CDL. If you de rate a 40' trailer and do not have a class A the amount of freight available to you would be slim pickings. That's doesn't leave enough carrying capacity to make money.
just for clarity @@StraightLineDelivery .. my truck weighs 8,080 lbs and the trailer im looking at dry weight is 7,200 lbs that should leave me room for 10,000 lbs with a little to spare, right? and are you saying i would have a tough time finding loads at 10k or under?
@@DavidCJohnson The truck and trailer have a GVWR of 15,280#. Once you have tarps and straps you can add 300# to that. Yes you would be able to haul freight of about 10K. There is a very limited amount of freight in that range. It also depends on your financial goals and/or customers you may already have that haul freight in that range.
its about GCWR= Gross combined weight rating 26k and below and length combined no more than 65' nose to tail non cdl hot shot and that is going to be outlawd soon so dont count on it many ststes are cracking down on this loophole.
