Peterbilt Medium Duty Trucks Operator's Manual after 1-07

Consumer Information and Vehicle Identification
WARNING! Do not exceed the specified load rating.
Overloading can result in loss of vehicle
control and serious personal injury, either by
causing component failures or by affecting vehicle
handling. Exceeding load ratings can also
shorten the service life of the vehicle.
NOTE: GVW is the TOTAL SCALE WEIGHT the
vehicle is designed to carry. This includes the weight
of the empty vehicle, loading platform, occupants,
fuel, and any load.
The tire size and rim size (and the cold inflation pressure to
match that combination) listed under “Suitable Tire-Rim
Choice” on the Certification Label are only representative
examples for the specified axle ratings. These components
may not be the ones actually installed on the axle, because
there are many other appropriate combinations.
The “PSI Cold” inflation pressure on the Certification Label is
for the tire-rim combination in the example, and may not be
the same as the recommended inflation pressure for the
actual tires on that axle.
Check the manufacturer's product information for the tires
and rims actually on each axle to obtain recommended tire
inflation pressure for specific applications.
