Guys, let me first say that this a great forum. I found it while searching for info on registering a 5-ton (I have yet to purchase) in my home state of Connecticut.
I searched and read the CDL info here I could find already, but perhaps someone can shed a little light on this for me.
The CT law says anything over 26,000lb.s GVWR needs a CDL. Since a 5-ton is going to weigh something around 20,000 empty and capable of another 10,000 highway, then that total (~30,000lbs.) is the GVWR, right?
Does anyone know if I can register the truck for less than the stated GVWR, but more than the empty weight? Also, does anyone know the significance of antique/early american plates in Connecticut?
I'd appreciate any feedback or thoughts anyone has!
