    With a 53' reefer, the loads I haul are typically 42-43,000 pounds, including pallet weight. When pulling a 53' van it's usually LTL, so anywhere from 8,000-36,000 pounds load weight, including pallets.

    I can scale 45,600 with my Columbia and 53' Utility reefer. I haul a lot of dry out bound from Houston so it's an advantage to be light to get out of here. Most reefer loads are under 43500 for me. Have hauled some freeze protect paint that was pushing 45k.
