    Wow. I'm surprised to see you folks with newer equipment so heavy. My reference scale ticket tells me I can carry 44,300 cargo, so I guess that's 35,700 empty.

    2007 T-600, usual amount of crap on board, apu, 100 gals of fuel (2 x 150 tanks, so 1/3 full). 2006 Great Dane (former xtra lease trailer), TK reefer, 50 gal reefer fuel, two load locks, and a little bit of chicken guts in the drains. No spare tire racks, so nothing to lose there. I did lose the spare tire that used to hang over my belt, so I suppose that makes room for one or two more cases of chicken nuggets I can load.

    ETA: I do have about 100 extra uncommon lbs in the bunk. Two dumbbell bars and a stack of plates. For when I have too much time on my hands and I get tired of catching up on business or watching tv. Amazing how much exercise you can get in a 72" bunk without even going outside. If you just get off your butt and do it LOL.

    The emissions crap is heavy and adds a lot of weight along with a 20 gallon DEF tank.

    It will be better if some of you guys post the details like:
    truck model and year, trailer model and year, size of tanks ect.... So we can understand better the differences in the weight!
