I need to determine how many tons to put on the license for my 1979 GMC 7000 straight truck with a 13' 6" long, 7' 5" wide, and 4' 4" tall metal grain box - around 330 bushels level full. I think I weighed the empty truck once and it was around 11,000 pounds. Don't know if that is 100% correct. The door jam says the total gross vehicle weight is 26,000 pounds. 300 bushels of 58 pound corn would weigh 17,000 pounds. How many tons do I put on the license? The 26,000 lb. gross vehicle weight of the truck or 13 ton. Or, 11,000 (the weight of the truck) plus the weight of the corn 17,000 = 28,000 for 14 ton???? Will the DOT let the truck and load weigh more than the GVW sticker on the door (26,000#). Maybe I can't haul a full box of corn??? Since I was working on the truck the past year I just had a minimal tonnage amount and now need to put it to use with the correct tonnage. Thank you.
