1st haul under new power

[47COE]

The 18,000 may just be derived from the tires on the truck.

When I first licensed my COE the Oregon DMV asked what tires it had and then licensed it for 18,000. Basically the limit is the total contact area of all 6 tires times some pounds per square inch factor.

The most I've hauled is 5 tons plus the 6,000 for the truck itself. I like to keep it down to a 3 ton load these days.
