Whatever you agree too, there is no legal limit or minimum amount charged unless you have the car impounded by the police or towed to police facilities, NOTE if your vehicle was towed due to parking violations or left on the side of the road, you have technically abandoned the vehicle, so if it was towed from a private lot look at the parking signs about towing, by knowingly leaving your vehicle there you automatically agreed to whatever the property owners fees were at the time.
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of a vehicle/trailer is the total weight of a fully loaded vehicle/trailer with maximum number of passengers allowed, maximum number of cargo allowed, full tank of gas, etc that the vehicle should weigh at maximum.
and are they to charge by day or hourly?

Yes. The repossession fee is like a tow bill. They did pick up the vehicle. The storage fee is the time it takes to get the vehicle off of their lot. Each day adds another day of storage fees.
no
I'm pretty sure it's indefinitely Once a customer is given a pick up date (normally that day or the next) anything beyond that can be charged storage fees up until the vehicle is removed. A lot of repair shops have a maximum length of time they will store a vehicle though, and once that is met or exceeded they reserve the right to repossess the vehicle to cover storage fees.
There is no one vehicle that weighs 40 tons. The maximum allowed weight for large 18 wheel hauling trucks on highways in the United States is 40 tons or 80,000 lbs.
In the UK, the maximum axle weight for a trailer axle on a 6 axle trailer is 8500 kg. In addition it must have road friendly suspension. With a 5 axle vehicle the maximum axle weight is 11.5 tonnes.
On the drivers side door jamb there is a metal plate stamped with your VIN # and other info including your GVRW (Gross vehicle rated weight) which will tell your your maximum loaded vehicle weight, including all allowed passenger and cargo.
Yes.
Usually 7 to 30 days are allowed to be charged depending on the towing company and state law and local laws in the area.
If my vehicle was repossessed at 8:00 pm and I paid the lien holder the full amount to pay off the loan. Can the towing company charge two days of storage when I picked up my vehicle at 1:00 pm the following day?
