    Ziggi is correct. A 350 one ton SRW is rated at 9,500# and shipping weight of approximately 5,500#. Add fuel, driver and your personal stuff and you should have about a 3,000# load capacity. The DRW 350 was over 10,000# and I think it was rated at 12,500#.

    It's already there. Just touch the bar to the right of the aviator. Then hit "like". At least it works on IPhone.

    Advice on Purchasing First Box Truck

    Zorry, you might be right. I see trucks all the time pulling car haulers and large boats. I thought the trailer carrying its own weight rated plate would be a separate issue. I found this. DOT Mandates May Apply When Using Trailers November 1, 2007 | by Joe Bohn When a Midwestern company...

    Advice on Purchasing First Box Truck

    He's carrying light freight. Just watch the tongue weight. Should be under the radar for the most part. They can't possibly be including the weight of the trailer in the 10,000 limit. If they do, every pickup truck pulling an enclosed trailer would be overweight. I used a van to pull a 24'...

    Advice on Purchasing First Box Truck

    From what I've been reading on this thread, seems like a normal GM 3500 or Ford E350 Cargo Van with a 14'-20' trailer would be ideal. Use the trailer for the shows and the cv for your local uses. Insurance would be lower and could easily be used as a daily driver. JMHO

    What makes a Bol a Bol

    I drive a cv and would never accept freight without a Bol. If they don't have one, I bring in a blank and make them fill it out. Driving around industrial parks in the middle of the night looking for an address, been stopped before and asked what I was doing! Bol is proof your there for a...
