On the F450, 3500's snd 350 Dually trucks they have artificially low GVWR of 14,000#. Some will say if you cross that line you are OVERLOADED.

I have the simple answer to that. It's called keeping all these Dually pickups in Class 3 rating as to not be in Commercial Classification at 14,001# or over. I have tonnage that covers my trucks combined weight. So as far as I am concerned I am at or under my ratings that actually matter.
