There is four endorsments that allow you to legally haul over 40,000 lbs, 20 tons. They are the Double Trailer, Triple Trailer, Oversized, and Lowboy.
The double trailer allows you to haul 45,000 lbs, 22 tons
The triple trailer allows you to haul 50,000 lbs, 25 tons
The oversized allows you to haul 55,000 lbs, 27 tons
The lowboy allows you to haul 60,000 lbs, 30 tons
Note that if you purchase the Aluminum Wheels, it adds a 1000 lbs, 1 ton to your legal weight before overweight penalties.
Each one of these endorsments cost a set amount, with the 10% company discount, it's a little cheaper. But each also requires a certain level of Driver rating to obtain the endorsement.
DR is something that Cookie and myself watch for all drivers. When we see you with in one to points of the required DR and within $1000 to $1500 away from the cash ya need for it, we'll kick ya 5% wage to help build the cash a little quicker.
Like with the truck purchase assistance program, we will monitor you while on this assistance program. It's not for the bells and whistles. You start spending more on bells and whistles then you're saving for the endorsement, we'll take it away and there is a chance your collection will be raised 5% to pay the company back for misuse of the assistance program. Save the bucks, get endorsement, and your collection is un effected and you owe the company nothing.
