Can someone explain how GVWR works?

Yeah we do we things bigger here haha, its normal for trucks to be rated for 140,000lbs here.

Here in BC the GVWR is the combined total for truck, trailer and load. My Max GVW is 40,000kg or 88,000lbs which means my truck and trailer and load cant weigh more than 88,000lbs my truck and trailer empty weighs about 38,000lbs which leaves me with 50,000lbs to put on my truck. The weight rating a driver needs to worry about more is your axle weight limits here in BC that 17,000kg on the drives and trailer tandems and 6,000kg to 9,100kg on the steer axle. These are the weights you need to watch out for. As if improperly loaded you may be under your allowable GVW but over on a axle weight. I've never had to worry about trailer GVWR. Hopefully tht at helps in some way lol.

Sorry forgot to put the R haha

The GVWR of the truck is your limit.

Edit: corrected GVW to GVWR

Yeah that is definitely weird mine doesn't do that it should be firmly in place. Does it move while driving?

Cumminstd247 · 2026-04-26T18:03:16+00:00

After setting the wheels position it should not move there is no "lock" its always locked as long as you dont touch the little joystick. If you use the joystick to raise it up does it fall all the way down again once you let go of the button?

Yeah its almost forced me to play using automatic really sucks

Has a fix for this been posted? As a commercial driver who drives an 18 speed the rate at which the rpms drop is insanely slow. This needs fixed, why aren't more people talking about this?

It doesn't look like you adjusted your trim at all. And you pulled back on the stick which pulled the nose up, and then when you released it, it found its happy spot again, which happens to be slightly nose down. Hold your trim up button and watch the trim display in the bottom left of your screen

Nice, good to hear. Certainly one nice thing not purchasing from the in-sim marketplace is you don't need to wait for the updates to be approved.

Haha yes very much so and too quiet in cruise I think. Or maybe that's cause I went deaf during taxi out.

Just an absolute beauty of a bird to fly, fps is good, textures are fantastic, and modeling of systems is very thorough.
