No carriers GROSS (truck, trailer, load) may exceed the plated weight of the TV unless the TV is licensed for 80,000lbs and an OW/OD permit has been obtained.
Thanks for the good info! You make me feel much less worried.
A clarification please, for someone who is not sure of all of the jargon/terms, but is making an assumption based on other discussion in this thread. But you know what happens when one makes assumptions...
When you say "plated weight" I assume you mean license plates - the weight that the vehicle is registered for (and which determines the registration fee.) You do not mean the weights on the vehicle manufacturer's rating plate (GVWR, GAWR, etc.) Correct?
