just the tip

Only the tip will get dirty anyways.

 

[JoeDirt]

Was it because he didn’t have a CDL?

You gotta have a CDL if you are over 26,000. You've gotta have a CDL-A if you are over 26000 AND your trailer is over 10,000. If the trailer is less than 10,000 but the combo is over 26k, you need a CDL-B with combinations restriction removed.

My grandma has never left Wisconsin I don’t think. She also likes Chevys, she absolutely hates Fords.

That proves you are Dall's son.

Is this nation wide?

2014 was the only time ive ever been to wisconsin and i was with the ex on that trip

 

[JoeDirt]

i still wouldnt do it with a stock half ton

I probably wouldn't do it regularly. But the brakes are rated for it. The Powerboost has regenerative braking that can be used for engine braking.

I understand all of that. That’s why I was asking Randy if his friend had his CDL…

 

[JoeDirt]

I've grossed 37k and 38k, more then a few times with my 2nd gen Ram 3500.

Keep in mind, it's only illegal, if ya get caught.

Trufe. *f-word the DOT.

@John Wargo told me all about

I hauled home a small dozer sized lady a time or 2. Anything that looks like a hot dog near her mouth is going in. Just sayin

Dall hates Ford's
Your granny hates Ford's
You hate Ford's.
You loves Chevy's
Dall loves Chevy's
Granny loves Chevy's

Need I say more, or should I rest my case.

 

[Loony661]

Is this nation wide?

Yes, Federal DOT standard. States can impose tighter restrictions, but MN follows Federal.

Mostly true, except I don’t HATE Fords, us and people we know have had bad luck with a lot of Fords except for the 7.3 diesel, we have one, my grandpa has one, we know several other folks with them, those are great motors.

 

[JoeDirt]

Is this nation wide?

Yep. CDL regs don't vary a whole lot state to state. It'd be impossible for everyone to follow them correctly since so many drivers cross state lines on a daily basis.

i run 25000 pound license on both trucks i could go to 26000 without cdl
they also go by tire ratings

so if you have single wheel truck and 10 ply tires which is about 3000 pounds per tire and 2 axles on trailer with same tires gives you 18000 total on those 3 axles that doesnt count your steering tires
so if you add another 6000 for front axle max is 24000
dually axle tires are rated about 2800 for the dual axle
then i also run 14 ply tires on the gooseneck which is 4000 per tire so you have 6000 front axle
2800 times 4 for rear axle of truck and then
16000 on trailer so at 25000 pound license im still ok

same thing with tractor trailer that is rated at 80000 license unless you get licensed more or permit
but still have to be below tire per axle ratings or adjust the load to set more or less on the truck

I was told years ago as long as truck and trailer were under 26k you were fine. Even if the trailer was rated at 14k not 10k

That’s a good way to get a ticket.
