Truck and Trailer.

You recently were hired as a Logistics Specialist for a Warehouse. Your manager, who just purchased a new pickup truck - Chev Silverado 1500 and utility trailer approaches you and asks for your advice. The Manager needs to move a load of landscape material this weekend for his own use and he has also been asked by the VP of operations to move a fridge. The VP of operations told your manager that he would pay him $150.00 for moving the fridge.

The truck is a Chev Silverado 1500

The trailer is a dual axle 3.5 ton per axle utility trailer. It weighs 1200lbs.

What is your advice to the Manager?

Things to consider?

• Vehicle weight
• Load weight
