Thank you mr Taylor, ive been in the trucking industry 39 yrs but in a dif capacity that did not allow me such detail as to actual weight laws, i do understand the big truck laws but when something like this arises im lost and ive tried on a few truck sites only to get ridaculed and told truckstop tales, im truly trying to ONLY be legal and safe for anyone around me. I dont want to seem stupid but its very confusing and im trying to learn, this is a flatbed trailer that has a 34ft long floor with a 8ft gooseneck, single tire tri axel, tires on trailer rated at g all 6 brand new, new truck tires rated at e so im sure im ok here, BUT if i understand right my steer axel can max out at the door sticker rating that says 4850 when loaded so if i put my trailer on and load it the max i can have anytime is 4850 on the steer axel and the sticker says max rear at 6100 so same there?? once those two numbers are maxed out id need to shift the load on the trailer to keep those two numbers in ck? AGAIN sir thank you for your time and caring enough to give help.
You could possibly shift the load on the trailer to come in under the axle ratings but I doubt you will get under the GVWR.
As you can tell the GVWR is less than the total of the front and rear axle rating combined.
