Remember that you're also doing this without the "sanctioning" of the truck's manufacturer.
Thats a crock as we get a full mfg warranty. In fact it was a Ford fleet sales mgr that showed me how to get set up with dot on my first one ton DRW truck that I put in commercial service.
The OP is worried about matching a truck and camper combo. As long as she stays within the trucks certified RAWR/tire load ratings she will have no worries. Now if she or anyone chooses to use the trucks GVWR to figure how much payload is on the trucks rear axle then she/anyone will have to pay close attention to the GVWR package as some truck with those high GVWR numbers have a payloads that will exceed the trucks RAWR.
Warranty is meaningless to LTL operators as they burn through the manufacturer's warranty in 3-4 months on a new truck.
Not hardly. Your talking about LTL hotshot services. Lots of folks out here that are commercially registered don't run that type service including my operations.
Regardless all trucks on the road can use the trucks certified GAWRs or use the trucks GVWR for work or play and we all still get the same mfg warranty.
