While looking for a dump truck, I came across a guy selling a truck and trailer combo for a reasonable price. The trailer is a 9-ton deck-over equipment trailer. Since I don't yet have my Class A CDL (passed my physical today, and hopefully start training next week), is there any way I can register this trailer at 9990 GVWR and still be legal with the DOT until I can get through with my CDL training? In other words, does the DOT base things on the manufacturer's weight ratings or the registered weight.
While I hate to pass this up, I'd also hate to spend money on something I won't be able to use immediately when there's work to be done.
I think the answer is that they go by the mfg. weight ratings, but I figured it can't hurt to ask.
Thanks in advance...
