Using a VIN Decoder to Find a Vehicles GVWR! Great tool for Fleet Managers and Compliance Tracking!
PRO TIP for D.O.T. Compliance Professionals. This tool is what enforcement officers and safety investigators use when they don't have the vehicle near by to check the official VIN label for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
In your Fleet Tracking spreadsheets you should always document the GVWR. It' absolutely important to know these weights for safety and compliance. Especially, when using pickups and trailers that are close to the CDL requirements.
This tool will give you the VIN's GVWR Range. Usually the actual GVWR is at the top of the range. But there are curtain instances when a lower range may be used.
So if your vehicle is out in the field and you are struggling to get the weights, this tool will help you out, until you're able to get the actual number off the vehicle VIN label.
This tool works great for all power units. It's not as great for the trailers, but it's a good starting point!!
