I was still a bit new. It did seem alittle sluggish, so to speak. I just chalked it up to being a different trailer and one of our older ones too.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

When I did OS/OW loads if there was no scale on sight then we would use an estimated weight based on experience but add 1500lbs per axle to the estimate (possibly up to permit max) for the first state permit to allow us to safely get to a certified scale.
example: estimated permitted actual
steers 12000 13200 11950
drives 38500 41000 37400
jeep 38500 41000 39300
trailer 49500 52000 51500
booster 20000 21500 18500
