Wow thats a great tare weight. I was wondering about refrigerated because I was possibly going to pull a reefer. My tractor with all of my stuff is probably about 800 lbs heavier then yours.
Are there a lot of refrigerated loads that are in the 44000 and lighter range?
Thank you for your reply

I apologize. I wasn't speaking about you. I was just venting out loud in your direction. Sorry about that.
Thank you for your replies! -
I ran up on a scale one time because I wanted to know. To calm my fears being empty in the wind.
2014 cascadia, 13 speedmanual. Two full tanks. Canned food. 12 gallons of water and some miscellaneous items. And a empty trailer was 32k 800Edjahman Thanks this. -
Our avg. load is under 40,000 pounds. Produce loads out of SoCal and Yuma, Az. are typically around 30,000 pounds.
We usually run produce out of that region to central Florida and then juice loads back to SoCal.
P.S., we are always on the heavy side coming out of Fl.Edjahman Thanks this. -

@Edjahman, you won’t have any problems. After awhile you get to know the brokers that always list loads at 44 or 45k and you’ll learn to always ask. I ask the broker, the I ask the shipper to verify sometimes if I think I might be close. Honestly though, I prefer to pull 20k or less and have no trouble finding it.
Edjahman Thanks this. -
Nice. That's really great to hear.
Like I was saying before, I'm coming from tankers and we were either empty or 80K.
Thank you for your reply!
