    Back in the day when we had our Kaufman wedge we had a quick disconnect that we mounted under the bumper. Plug looked like a golf cart connector end. Worked great. We eventually put dual winches on the trailer in the end. We hauled lease turn ins to Greater Orlando Auto Auction for a finance company called World Omni. Tampa Bay area to Orlando

    Hey, Steve. Left Hershey on the 31st headed for Elkhart with my Rig behind the SuperCruzer. When going thru Middlebury, there was a huge field of Amazon delivery vans with a sign drivers wanted. Did not make since with at least 1000 vans in the field. You would think car haulers would be up there loading them up and heading out. So, rates must suck or they’re not really trying to move them. There were unbelievable numbers of junk RV’s sitting in other fields in the area. Met a solid stream of RV Haulers on 20 and 17 heading out with single tows. Staying off the turnpike. I waiting to see my bill on EPass for the Ohio Turnpike at 34,600lbs. Ran 11/15 out of Harrisburg to 80 West. That was a good ride.

    you misunderstood the rails thing. Some people like me put the rails parallel with the frame. Do not have to turn the hitch it still hooks up from the rear. Just neans you have the ability to move the fifth front to back adjustability. Trust me I am no idiot.

    • @CPSteveMiller
      @CPSteveMiller  ปีที่แล้ว

      Kinda odd how when I type in "5th wheel rails parallel with frame rails" not a single one comes up parallel with the frame rails. Not a single person has shown me a picture where they are parallel. The rail system that I have cannot be mounted sideways or "parallel to the frame". They were not designed to work that way.
      Feel free to send me a picture. You'd be the first.

      They float gears in a semi because they are made for it the snycros in a regular truck transmissions aren't made for it take it from a machanic floating gears seems cool in a pickup but you will destroy the syncros and sometimes the shift forks in them it doesn't take much effort to just press a clutch but hey they are yalls trucks and yall can do with them as yall please but yes it is bad for them.

      He weighs his rig loaded, then calculates how much weight allowance he has left. Let's say that in this example is 400 pounds.
      He calculates the weight of his diesel fuel per gallon which is usually a bit less than 7 pounds, but the weight isn't constant so go with the 7 pound high end number.
      Decide 7 into 400 and you get 57.14 gallons. So in this example you would want to put in 57 gallons.
      He puts in a couple extra if he knows when he gets to the scale he will have burned them off in time.
      Up to you and your current circumstances if you want to risk it, because you could get pulled over as soon as you leave the truckstop.
      I hope this helps.

    I've got to ask, how do you run as a non CDL with a 3 car trailer hauling 3 vehicles with a dually? You have to be under 26,000lbs and I know your truck is near 10k, trailer around 5k and each car 3500 to 5000lbs. How do you get by like that?

    • @CPSteveMiller
      @CPSteveMiller  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Truck is 9000GVWR
      Trailer is 17,000GVWR
      With 3 cars I usually end up right around 25,000 to 25,500 gross weight.
      I always check the internet weight on cars before booking them. If you just randomly pick 3 cars without knowing the weight you can go over 26 easily. You just have to plan accordingly.
      The truck itself is a 2500 with a dually conversion so that's why it has the 9k gvwr. I took a rear axle, springs, and front oem spacers from a 3500. Never had issues with dot in the 5 years I ran that truck other than 1 inspection with an oil leak.

    New viewer here. I have been enjoying your videos, they're very helpful. I do have a couple of questions. Does the 26,000 pounds include truck, trailer and load? Or just truck and trailer for non CDL? Second, does a cdl b work or do you need a cdl a? Thank you for helping us all, pure motivation.

    • @CPSteveMiller

      26,000 pounds is the rating
      Truck 9,000 gvwr
      Trailer 17,000 gvwr
      Gives you 26,000 gcwr(gross combination weight rating)
      You then weigh the truck and trailer together. In my case, 15,500 pounds with no load.
      That means I can haul 10,500 pounds on the trailer pending I keep each axle under they're tire weight limit.
      As for the cdl b it's useless here because you can only have a 10,000 pound or less trailer if your truck itself is over 26,000 pounds. You need a class a or the class b is basically non cdl.

    Hey quick question I have a 2003 ram 3500 dully Cummins diesel how much can this truck tow with a 35 ft trailer ? Overall weight if u don’t mind

    • @CPSteveMiller
      @CPSteveMiller  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Combine the gvwr of the trailer and the gvwr of the trailer. Then subtract the real weight from the combined weight "rating". That's how much you can scale. Then you just need to keep the weight under each axle's rating.

    9k gvwr on the truck but what is the cgwr? I bet you are over the manufacturer recommended towing weight. Not good when you get in an accident. Insurance companies love to find ways to not pay.

    • @CPSteveMiller
      @CPSteveMiller  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gcwr is 26,000. Insurance can't deny anything. It's a commercial vehicle with a commercial policy. 1m liability and 100k cargo.

    • @CPSteveMiller
      @CPSteveMiller  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think I've mentioned it but I have the rule from the fmcsa website screenshotted on my phone
      Class A - Combination over 26,000 inclusive to a trailer that is over 10,000 pounds
      Class B - A single vehicle over 26,000 pounds with a maximum trailer weight of 10,000 or less
      If you are under 26,001 pounds you do not need a cdl at all ever unless you live in California. Then you need a class a with restriction 88 if you're over 10k but under 26001. I do not recommend any Facebook groups either. They are full of the dumbest people you'll ever listen to.. There's also plenty of people in there ready to undercut rates. I stay out of those dumpster fires!
