The door sticker is what the nice DOT man is going to look at before he writes the ticket. All the other ratings are irrelevant. You can't exceed the limits on the door sticker no matter how huge of axles you put on your trailer.
What? Not even close to 32,000.

Somebody has their chevy on the scale with your truck. Either that or they are tri drive, triple framed v12 cats.
You do know that bobtail is without a trailer right? There is no way that truck comes in that heavy.
Heck, the heaviest truck we have is only 27k and that one has a winch on it too.Dominick253, daf105paccar and Mudguppy Thank this. -
Are you on the metric system?
maybe a big hooded truck put his steers on the scale while you were weighing ....Dominick253 and Mudguppy Thank this. -
^Not unless they're trying to pickup a 45-46K payload of alcoholic beverages or paper rolls Lmao

1st tractor I drove was a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia sleeper cab with a Detroit DD15/10-speed manual with 200 gallon fuel tank capacity(100 gallons each side, plus a 20 gal DEF tank). That one weigh usually around 32-33K pounds with half full tanks.
2nd tractor I drove was a 2015 Volvo VNL 64T670 with the D13 engine and 12-speed"I-Shift" automatic with 250 gallon fuel capacity (125 gallons each side) and a 23 gallon DEF tank. Even with half tanks that truck weighed in around 34K pounds on a good day. -
