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.

My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
