Peterbilt manufactures trucks in weight classes 5 through 8. A Class 5 truck has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 16,501 - 19,000 lbs. A Class 6 truck has a GVWR of 19,001 - 26,000 lbs. A Class 7 truck has a GVWR of 26,001 - 33,000 lbs. A Class 8 truck has a GVWR of 33,001 lbs. and up. Which one you have in mind depends on what model and configuration of Peterbilt truck you had in mind.


Is a dump truck considered a tractor trailer type vehicle?

Well, dump trucks range in size greatly. You can make a dump truck out of a one ton pickup truck, if you so wish. The US truck classification system lists a Class 8 truck as being anything over a 33,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. 33,000 lbs. is the max allowed for a two axle unit, so, basically, any tandem axle vehicle (and all tractor trailers) are going to be Class 8 trucks. However, the licence class in the USA is different. Most Class 7 and Class 8 dump trucks can be driven with a Class B CDL. However, if that dump truck is going to be towing a trailer rated at over 10,000 lbs., then the same Class A CDL required for a tractor trailer will be required to operate that combination of dump truck and trailer.


What is the permissible weight a 24-foot truck can carry?
