Hello guys I'm trying to figure out about what my empty weight might be. I just got this truck and haven't put it on a scale yet.
The truck is a 02 KW W900L with 86" studio sleeper, 300" wheel base, the trailer will be a 96", 48' flat bed (steel) with all the chains and binders, tarps and a side kit. The truck with about 1/2 tank of fuel. Anybody have a good guess at the weight of this thing. The tractor with 1/4 tank of fuel weighed in at a little over 19000 so whats a flat bed weigh.
Thanks
Gross gvw empty ?

28000 to 32000 depending on the trailer specs
-
Thanks for the info Powder Joints, I was hopeing to be right around there

Steel flat with steel wheels is a lead sled, a lightweight sidekit will help but if it's plywood be prepared for 32+.
-
full of fuel and with all my tarps chains and all the workings of a flatbed I weigh in at 29,800 and my trailer is aluminum so yea likeJfaulk99 said be prepared for 32
-
best guess 32 to 33 bet that the w 9 is heaver that 19 if it is 300'' w 86" sleeper

Thanks guys yea I weighed the tractor and with about 1/4 tank of fuel it was 19100, the trailer is steel but with aluminum wheels

I think your going to be around 33,000 light on fuel and over 34,000 with fuel ,by the time you ad the binders, chain ,tarps and everything else you probably go around 35,000 lbs ready to hit the road, when you get your empty weight post it here.
To answer your question that flat bed should be around 14,000lbs. -
That's one heavy ### flat.
The Shaker Classic I'm driving right now with half a tank of fuel and a dry van weighed in at just a few hundred over 32k. -
