    I'm estimating that my 579 full of fuel and with all of my stuff to be about 20500.

    I was curious about what other people's tractors weigh, full of fuel and full of supplies?

    Thank you

    I was just worried that my tractor and a 53 ft van would be too heavy for what I see on load boards.

    I'm coming from tankers where we just loaded on a scale to 80 so I'm new to this stuff.

    Thank you
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    My tractor weight was about the same as yours when I was an O/O with Landstar years back and I never had any problems getting legal with 45000 in the box. I took what I thought I would need and made adjustments from time to time.
     
    Coffey and Edjahman Thank this.

    I just didn't want to limit myself to available loads.
