GVWR is what your gross weight not your actual weight. It means the combination is good to haul up to your GVWR your actual weight for the tractor is probably around 17 to 18k and your trailer is probably around 13 or 14 k so if the weight of the combination is around 32,000 - 80000= 48,000 you can load on your trailer if you’re registered for 80,000 pounds. These are just rough estimates. Your combination might be different but it sounds like you may need some training on the basics. This is trucking 101.
How am I supposed to be able to drive a 43000 pound load?
