    Ur empty weight is 37.5 with a class A vehicle plus 200 gal fuel? My mixer is 37 empty as a straight truck. Never realized how heavy I really am. Fully loaded I gross around 77k +/- depending on the mix design of the concrete.

    2011 Prostar, 240 gallons fuel, no APU, six single chains, my fat butt, all my crap, late model Wabash, Hyundai or Great Dane trailer I'm at 34,500 which doesn't help you at all since I only pull dry van and you're pulling reefer.

    Something is amiss here--just not sure why---05 379--285wb--tripak 150 gal tanks(course rarely fill em)2011 53' triple reefer unit Dane Everest 50 gal tank--36.5k mt---load 45k+ regularly--usually run in 1/3 fuel or less though--thinking of going w/SS next time around--have some friends that have--& w/basically same set up--down under 35k---But haven't seen fuel savings predicted--so im on the fence.....
    Wonderin--how much your chains weigh---Why u have them--& r ur spares mounted?& why 2?

    2012 Pete 386, 53 Utility reefer, 240 fuel tanks, 6 single chains, load locks, my junk, my big butt, no APU yet etc, right at 34900 if the truck and reefer are full of fuel. I can scale pretty close to 45800 if I run light on fuel which I do sometimes if I am hauling a dry load to get out of Houston. I knew those Pro Stars were heavy but dang, that would be tough to work with.

    My bobtail weight only with 2012 630 Volvo, 150 gallons of fuel, super singles, 75 lbs of tools
    in left side box, two large cases of water in right box, two weeks of clothes, snacks, and my
    212 lb body.......17,600. Overweight, never. With our new Dart trailors with super singles,
    can run over 49k in the box legally.
