    The major steel recycler in Selkirk, MB has a scale that's more accurate than our own yard scale (then again, my company used a propane heater and a Super-B tarp to defrost the sensors on our scale this past spring).

    Sorry Hurst, a little late in seeing this. But if it helps, the ride I'm in is a '98 W900 w, the 72" sleeper, CAT 475 turned up to 550, (sorry, not sure of the gearing) but with 24.5 rubber and 18-sp. it does 70-72 at around 1450-1500. Also, never scaled it bobtail (only been driving it since April) but with 1/2 load of fuel (twin 150 gal. tanks) and hooked to "my" '14 Great Dane 48' skateboard it scales just under 33k. I'm home until Thurs. or Friday, but if there's anything else I can help with just let me know.....
     
    Hurst Thanks this.

    What do you mean it's overheight?

    (I did not roll out with an overheight load... Sitting right at 13' 6" in pic #2)

    I wouldn't have worried about it. Of course most states I run in 14 ft is the max.

    @Chewy352
    Is this a load you would build a bulkhead at the front of? I have a headboard on the trailer, nothing on the truck. Steel billets.

    I would, that header board isn't going to prevent it from gaining momentum. A bulkhead in front would

    I would also if I had that ld. Too much space for speed to build up like Gunner said above
