i get empty weights every day and best iv figured i carry about 800 lbs worth of sheet in my truck....lol it adds up quick. esp when you are carrying tools and spare parts ect.
koncrete cowboy and tow614 Thank this. -
Ok thanks what ever the biggest number is I'll go with. Rather do that then be over weight.

wouldn't it be best to just pack up your truck with all your stuff you want to take with you and then put it on a scale. then you know exactly what you empty weight is and how much you can load. then once loaded weight it again and make sure your legal.
or really you just need to know round about what your empty weight is and if the load is going to be close to gross scale it.
too much room for error to try to add some weight to a rough empty weight and gross out a truck. fuel weight is big as well your fuel tank levels will probably fluctuate your weight as much if not more than all your stuff you put in your truck
in what i do the product is sold by weight and sometimes the trucking is billed by weight so i get scaled sometimes 10+ times a day.koncrete cowboy Thanks this. -
Got two bunks? Lmao...j/kCharli Girl and striker Thank this. -
who cares,,,,think about it all personal stuff plus if you are jack of all trades , you have to have al the tools to git back on the road or wait for road service. Pack it full then worry about it.
