26000 lbs. is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. That's the max it can legally weigh on the road. Subtract the vehicle's tare (empty) weight from that, and you have your allowable net weight. 4-1/2 to six tons is typical of the allowed net weight for a 26k GVWR truck.
What's the configuration? For a single axle straight truck, the allowed interstate gross weight is 33,000 lbs. For a tandem axle straight truck, it's 54,000 lbs. For a tractor-trailer, it's 80,000 lbs.
The allowed capacity is written right on the truck.
52,000 lbs., assuming you have 40k rears and a 20k steer. What you'd be allowed to gross legally if you converted it to a straight truck will depend on wheelbase.
The weight allowed should be shown on a metal plate attached to the truck, either in the cab or on the chassis. Similar trucks might be plated for differing weight depending on the truck's original construction, or on any alterations later carried out.
40,680 lbs.
Need to know the exact model and configuration in order to answer this. A 26k GVW box truck and a 33K dump truck aren't going to have the same tare weight.
They're typically allowed, in the US, a gross vehicle weight of 54.000 lbs. How much that equates to in freight tonnage depends on the tare weight of the vehicle. A tandem dump truck can typically haul 15 tons. A tandem roll off with a 30 yard container is typically only good for 9 - 11 tons.
Depends on what axles came on the truck and their weight ratings. For example if the truck came with a 9000lb. capacity rated front axle and a 18,500lb. capacity rated rear axle, the gross vehicle weight of the truck would be 27,500 lbs.
A typical tractor trailer or a straight truck is allowed 13' 6". A car hauler is allowed 14'.
Up to 20,000, IF the tires and axle are rated for it, and so long as the truck is within legal weight limits and bridge law formula.
It varies. It depends on the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of the truck. It could be 25,999 GVW, 26,000 GVW, 33,000 GVW, or 54,000 GVW, ect. The truck could be non-CDL or CDL.
A straight truck is simply any truck which is not towing a trailer. E.g., box truck, dump truck, etc.
