slpwlker Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I didn't think they could go that heavy. Seen a think it was a Saftey Clean truck had a gvw on the side of the truck of 54k but that might of been for tax and registration purposes. Tx has some strange weight laws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyp Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 click on Texas permissible weight tables, they show their lil formula and the table, number of axles, length comes into play here also,,,randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnin oil Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You can call them and they will work all the numbers for you. I spent alot of time with the commercial vehicle folks when I was trying to figure out what exactly I would need to run legally at 35k gross on a private vehicle.. They figured all the axles and everything. Call Dept of Public Safety and ask for commercial vehicle enforcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
