The empty weight of a 26 foot Penske rental moving truck is about 9,000 to 12,500 pounds. It depends on the make of the truck. The International and Freightliner trucks of this type are about 12,400 pounds at empty weight.
Gross Vehicle Weight 11,500 lbsPayload Weight 3,500 lbs
Penske tells me that they have two different models of 16-foot truck. The gross weight is 10,000 pounds for the older model and 12,300 pounds for the newer model.
Truck sizes through Budget Truck Rental include a 10 foot truck, a 16 foot truck, a 24 foot truck, or a cargo van to move precious valuable furniture to a new living space.
The maximum legal weight for a 20 foot ocean container without the truck is about 48,000 pounds. The entire cargo weight, including the truck, cannot exceed 80,000 pounds. Truck drivers are allowed 12,000 pounds on the steer tires, 34,000 pounds on the drive tires and 34,000 pounds on the tandems.
At U-Haul, the smallest truck that will hold 40 cubic yards (1,080 cubic feet) is a 24-foot truck. You will also need to check the weight capacity.
Neither a 14-foot truck nor a 17-foot truck is large enough to hold 40 cubic yards.
It weighs about 13500 lbs empty. (25500lbs - 12000 lbs)
It would all depend on the gas mileage for the truck and the price of gas.
The weight allowed should be shown on a metal plate attached to the truck, either in the cab or on the chassis. Similar trucks might be plated for differing weight depending on the truck's original construction, or on any alterations later carried out.
That depends on Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, not length. You could be talking about anything from a Class 3 truck up to a Class 8 truck.
There are a few different size truck you can rent from Budget. You can get a 10. 16, or 20 foot moving truck. You can aslo rent a cargo van if you choose.
