Ah the new age of truck specing . Most of the Med Duty's are speced for box work and not much weight involved henc the transmission used as due to the driver base they have to pick from today . When you look at MOST grain trucks on the farms just about everyone is UNDER speced with GVW's under 26000 and this goes way back like this . BUT when you roll across the scales at the elevator your no less the 10000 over loaded . Even if you speced your truck out with a 12000 ft axle and a 23000 rear axle most times you will be a grand or two over .
