I need to know the front weight of the trailer so I would know to bring a single ax or a tandum truck to get it. Does Truck Reg Department have a way to do this or maybe some other way?

A single-axle rig would be limited to 17,000 lbs. on the drive axle, right?

However, your tires need to be rated for the weight. As far as the weight of the trailer?, what kind of trailer is it?, whats on it?, is it a tandem or single axle trailer? If its a tandem, is the tandem at the back or slid up. Also, do you have apportioned tags on the tractor naming CO and WY? CO and WY are not very friendly to trucks not properly registered. Also, do you have an IFTA permit for the fuel? Also, do you have a CDL and a current health card? | | |
