Light weight Tractor Sleeper 43ft Trailer Weight Limit

well as you know 80000 is your gross weight, so when you get your truck and trailer go to a scale and weigh yourself.

 

Should be doable. My 379 weighs 17k full of fuel. If you get a similar weight truck and your trailer is under 10k you should be good to go.

 

If you look at the Vin plate on the trailer it should tell you the maximum capacity. I haul tankers and my assigned trailer says max trailer payload 65,000 which I could only haul that much weight with a permit.

 

If I haul 53,000 on my truck I'll be about 5000 over weight.

 

Probably right but OP said he has a light truck and a 43' trailer. If his truck weighs 17k and his trailer 10k he could haul 53k. No idea what kind of trailer he has but if it is light and his truck is light it is certainly possible.

My truck is light at 17k full of fuel but my trailer is a heavy all steel 53' fontaine. Trailer weighs around 16k. I know they make some 53' aluminum trailers around 9k so it is quite possible his 43' weighs 10k or less.
