What Makes it a Heavy Duty Truck?
Trucks are categorized in different numbered classes. Heavy duty trucks are not simply a large pickup truck that you use to get to work each day or handle small hauling jobs on your property.
Heavy duty trucks are much larger. They are categorized as Class 7 and Class 8. This includes semi trucks and other commercial trucks of that size. These can usually offer a weight limit between 26,000 and 33,000 pounds. Class 8 trucks can get up to 80,000 pounds in total weight. When you're driving semi trucks this big, you'll often need an "oversize load" designation complete with permits and a designated route.
There are also super heavy duty trucks. These commercial trucks are categorized as Class 9. They tend to offer special characteristics, such as off-highway maneuvering. These can be helpful for projects such as logging.
Should I Invest in Heavy Duty Trucks?
Commercial trucks are a steep investment, so they aren't something you buy "just in case". People who benefit from heavy duty trucks are those who need to transport heavy equipment, large equipment, or multiple pieces of equipment. If you're moving a large load on the road, semi trucks can be of great help.
Some drivers of commercial trucks operate privately and provide services to small companies who don't want to buy their own fleet. This type of work can provide you more flexibility with your work hours and sometimes even higher pay.
What Do I Need Before I Can Drive?
Owning semi trucks is one thing. Safely and legally operating them is another. A standard Class C driver's license doesn't allow you to legally drive commercial trucks. You'll need at least a Class B license, which means you'll need training and testing. Always be sure you're compliant with state and local driving laws and know how to safely operate the trucks before hitting the road.
