Yes. A Class 7 single axle straight truck exceeds the 26000 lb. GVWR. A semi truck is a Class 8 truck.
No. Such an endorsement does not exist for US licenses.
The payload for a ford ranger 1979 f350 is 5,000.The GVWR of that truck is 9,900. that gives it curb weight of4,900 lb.
my '00 has 6050 LB GVWR 4x4 Tundra 5.8L V8 Maximum Payload 1720Lbs
In most states, no. However, some states may require commercial vehicles with a GVWR of as little as 8000 lbs. to stop at weigh stations.
If you look at the specs online or in your owner's manual (might not list in owners manual), they will tell you what your exact payload is. Most half-tons nowadays rank in the 1500-2000lbs range. It depends on what your GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) and curb weight are (curb weight is how much your vehicle weighs w/out any passengers or cargo in it). Take your GVWR (sticker generally found on driver door) and subtract the curb weight from that number - that will tell you exactly what your payload is. For example, I had a 94 half-ton that had a GVWR of 6200lbs. The curb weight was around 4200-4500lbs. When you subtract that from 6200, you get 1700 - 2000lbs. So that was the relative payload. Keep in mind though that anything in the cab is also part of the payload, not just the bed of the truck. This means that you and anyone else in the cab are part of the payload, so be sure to subtract the weight of any passengers before you can consider the amount of cargo you can carry! And just for advice, don't think that just because your truck isn't fully squatting or you still have room under the wheel wells that your payload isn't maxed out. A lot of manufacturers just do this so that the back end isn't scraping on the ground when the payload is maxed.

You only need a CDL for a vehicle under 26,000 lbs. GVWR if it's designed to carry more than 15 passengers (including the driver) or if it's carrying hazardous materials in an amount which requires placards to be displayed.
GVWR = 9200 lbs. From 1980 to 1999, a Chevy 2500's had a GVWR of 8600lbs From 2000 to current, 2500HD (the common "three quarter ton") GVWR is 9200lbs prior to 1980, three quarter ton pickups had 6800lb standard GVWR, with higher GVWR as options.
No. The gross weight cannot exceed the gross vehicle weight rating and/or the registered weight rating of the vehicle, regardless of the license of the person driving it.
No. California does, however, have non-CDL class A and B licenses which are required for non-commercial vehicles over 26,000 GVWR.
There are eight truck classes, and trucks are placed into classes in accordance with their Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).Light DutyClass 1: GVWR of 0 to 5,000 lbs.Class 2: GVWR of 5,001 to 10,000 lbs.Class 3: GVWR of 10,001 to 14,000 lbs.Medium DutyClass 4: GVWR of 14,001 to 16,000 lbs.Class 5: GVWR of 16,001 to 19,500 lbs.Class 6: GVWR of 19,501 to 26,000 lbs.Heavy DutyClass 7: GVWR of 26,001 to 33,000 lbs.Class 8: GVWR in excess of 33,000 lbs.
