Since you have this GVWR figured out please explain how my RAM Dually has 6k for axle rating and 9,750# rear axle rating and has 14K GVWR. The fact that the RAWR for example is part of the SAE rating and I do run 9,750# rear but even if I only add the unloaded front axle weight of about 5,250# that puts me at 15K.
No one can explain this? I did not write the first sentence above.
Most hotshots are towing empty RVs with 1 Ton trucks and the UVW seldom exceeds the GVWR.
If they have a DOT number they have to comply. DOT uses the VIN to pull the manufacture specs into the weight stations computer. When they drive on the scales they have all green on the screen including the GVWR. During my research, I sat in weight station and watch the weighting process. Ask the operator how many get nailed for over GVWR and very few commercial trucks since the GVWR on commercial trucks are rate high enough they normally exceed GAWR before GVWR but it does happen.
