You are correct 71Farmtruck, until the much more meaningful GVW rating was adapted by USDT regulation. There has been much discussion over the years in here and elsewhere about those old "ton" ratings. All us older guys have our theories but in the end it is jsut so much hogwash and utterly meaningless except to argue about over a couple of beers. And I've yet to see any beer in here..
