The empty weight of a 26 foot Penske rental moving truck is about 9,000 to 12,500 pounds. It depends on the make of the truck. The International and Freightliner trucks of this type are about 12,400 pounds at empty weight.
Penske tells me that they have two different models of 16-foot truck. The gross weight is 10,000 pounds for the older model and 12,300 pounds for the newer model.
That depends on what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle is, and what the vehicle weighs empty (tare weight).
Depends on make, model and options. Average empty weight is 15,000 lbs.
It weighs about 13500 lbs empty. (25500lbs - 12000 lbs)
The allowed capacity is written right on the truck.
The tare weight of a Penske 26 foot non-liftgate truck is 15,241 pounds. The tare weight is tough to get from Penske. Not that they're avoiding the topic, but the folks who answer the phones just don't know. After multiple calls and wildly different answers, I got to a Penske service department, where they were able to look up the tare weights. Add 50 gallons of diesel at 7.5 pounds per gallon and a 200 pound driver, and you have an "empty" truck weight of 15, 816 pounds, meaning you can put 10,184 pounds of cargo in the truck without exceeding the 26,000 GVW rating of the truck and the limits of a non-CDL driver. The tare weight of the liftgate 26 foot Penske trucks are 16,108 pounds (International) and 16,242 pounds (Freightliner), so by the same calculations, the max payload is a bit over 9000 pounds for this "10,000 pound" truck. Data is current as of June, 2017.

That depends on Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, not length. You could be talking about anything from a Class 3 truck up to a Class 8 truck.
The maximum legal weight for a 20 foot ocean container without the truck is about 48,000 pounds. The entire cargo weight, including the truck, cannot exceed 80,000 pounds. Truck drivers are allowed 12,000 pounds on the steer tires, 34,000 pounds on the drive tires and 34,000 pounds on the tandems.
13,000 - 15,000 lbs, depending on specifics.
