Class 7 33,000 lbs with 4 axles, 64,000 gross, 72,000 in some states, However any registration over 58,000 LBS required another annual tax to be paid. Now assuming both class 6 and class 7 are air brake equipped that is.
Now we have the prime vehicle at 15,000 lbs, 2 small vehicles in the box 4000 lbs each a single axle tractor being towed at 12,000 lbs a tandem axle day cab tractor being hauled at 17,000 and another small vehicle at 4000 lbs total 57,000.lbs legal in all States with proper registration insurance and a CDL A license Air brake qualified. Put that tandem tractor on the ground then the gross goes to 80,000lbs
