    Are the dumbbells on your BOL? If not, don't put them in the trailer.
    Anyway, you're fine on the axle weights. Go with it.

    I’d still be shoving freight in the trailer at that point.

    scale on 80 works banker hours anyway, never tried blowing that one though

    Your drives weight is nothing to worry about. I’d be more concerned about your steer axle. Assuming you have a 12k weight rating for your steer axle. That and running your tires near max weight would worry me. Make sure your tires are inflated correctly and don’t push it too hard in the heat.

    And definitely don’t pick up any fat chic’s

    That’s my two cents, now back to drinking my beer :)
