How fast do you go
When Towing on a highway where the speed limit is 70 MPH, how fast do you go?
Forum Discussion
I'm not positive on GVW vs GVWR, BUT, from taking a couple of classes from WSP CVEO's, they will use the max you can weigh legally. So a truck like Cummins has, just under 10k running down the road empty per say, with a paid for registration of 14k, your limit is 60 mph!
Like wise, a 15 series truck with a paid for license of 6000, pulling a single axle trailer if 3500 lb capacity, total 9500, is a tandem, so limit is 60 mph.
Both setups will need chains on rear of truck towing if chains over 10k sign is up going over mtn passes. The 15 series truck needs brakes on trailer, as the potential gvw is greater than 40% of truck gvw. ANY towed rig over 4500 lbs needs auxiliary brakes. Under 1500 not required.
Just to name a few of the laws here in WA st. Chain up laws are very similar in Id, OR, CA, Mont. Too!
