Truck Weight-Wa. Registration

[wcjp]

Is there a specific weight that registration becomes cheaper? My truck weighs 6,840 pds. Should I make it weigh more? I'm going to try to get in tomorrow.

Wahington Charts for Fees

I am just getting up to speed on this as I considering a big trailer.



Here a Washington State site for truck fees.



Legally your required to register 1-1/2 times your weight empty.



I going to Bump my 2500 from 8000 to 10000 to be safe, or you might be over weight if your ever weighed when you above 8000. your 6500 require a minimum of 8000, next even number. That what mine is register for, but I believe it should be for 10,000 to cover the 8800 actual capacity, or 10,000 at 1. 5 times 6500 = 9750. You could probably justify 12,000 if you wanted.



I ot sure where this put you when your towing, There were huge fines given out in Pennslyania for truck trailer not being licenced for GCVW. Like $1000-$2000 a gig
