Legally, about 140 - 150% of its tare weight. Most could haul significantly more if need be.
check your vehicle GVW usually listed on the door sticker. Then subtract the weight of your truck with an empty flat bed. the remainder will be what you can haul.
the weight a semi can haul depends on the empty weight of the semi subtract the empty weight from 80thousand pounds. eg ; 80.000 minus empty weight 21.000 equals 59.000 pounds in this instance the cargo that could be legally hauled is 59000 pounds total semi weight which includes all tarps, straps ,equipment and load equal 80.000 pounds
That depends on what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle is, and what the vehicle weighs empty (tare weight).
Yes you do
As much as it can haul without going over the GVWR. Of course, they're capable of hauling more than they're rated for at short distances, but if you want to stay legal, five to seven tons is typical for a Class 6 truck, depending on what the tare (empty) weight of the vehicle. How much it weighs empty will depend on a number of things, such as what type of body it has on it.
The only information provided is that it's a 24' straight truck - that really tells us nothing in relation to the question you're asking. The payload it can haul is the tare weight (empty weight of the vehicle) subtracted from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. So, if it's a non-CDL Class 6 vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. and a tare weight of 15,000 lbs., then it can haul 11,000 lbs. of payload. If it's a Class 7 truck (which does require a CDL) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 33,000 lbs., and a tare weight of 17,000 lbs., then it can haul 16,000 lbs. of payload. But without having the tare weight and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle you had in mind, it's impossible to tell you what you're looking for. Length doesn't determine how much weight it can haul.
It depends on what the empty weight of your combination (tractor plus trailer) is. You're allowed a total weight of 80,000 lbs., so, you subtract the tare weight of your tractor and trailer from 80,000 lbs., and you're left with what you can haul legally.
That depends on what the empty weight of the vehicle is. Eight to ten tons is the norm, but it may be less for a heavier vehicle, such as one equipped with a crane.
You could haul more weight in boats.
How much payload you can haul depends on the tare (empty) weight of the vehicle. For a typical dump or box van, this could be five to seven tons of payload.
