That depends on the truck. Legally the total weight of truck and load for a 2 axle truck would be 18 tons or 36,000#. For a truck with a single front axle and tandem (two) rear axles, that would be about 34 tons or 68,000#. You have to subtract the weight of the truck (including driver and fuel) from the weight to get the payload. BUT- and this is a big "but"- the truck may not be designed to safely carry that much weight. A light duty truck might only be rated for 28,000#. You need to check the sticker inside the driver's door of the truck to determine the unladen (empty) weight and the gross vehicle weight rating. These are usually abbreviated ULWT and GVWR. So if it says : ULWT 14,000 GVWR 28,000 then you subtract the ULWT from the GVWR which leaves 14,000#/7 tons of payl
