elkimmeg said:Very expensive over load. My Mack dump truck has 36,000 GVW I have a full load of pea stone weighing in at near 42k gvw. Only 3 miles from the pit to the job location. Passed a state trouper he pulls me over 1/2 mile to my job. The fines equaled $2500 how could i lie I have the tare slips there. I have to hand shovel 3 tons to another truck before I can continue. From that day forward, I do not overload any trucks
Ted said:I just finished unloading the second ton off my Toyota Tundra 4X4 - it was quite a load and I had pumped the tires up to their max - 35psi. (I did only 1 T at a time). Never went over 45 mph and was very careful regarding stopping distance. Looks like I was about 120 lbs overloaded.

The amount depends on whether you are the one selling the wood from the truck, or the one buying the wood from the truck.
