What is the curb weight on a 2009 international 5900 truck in a tandem axle configuration?
Every heavy duty commercial truck is built to customer specs. Unless you have 2 trucks spec'd the same they are each uniquely different which causes the curb weight to differ from truck to truck. There are 2 ways to get a curb weight for that particular truck. One get the vin number and contact an International dealer and have them print a built sheet. Two is to take the truck along with about $9 to a truck stop and put it on a scale.
