    I run a 07 Volvo and with a 53' dry van trailer I can legally haul just a little over 47000. A place in St. Louis regularly loads me with 45,000 and I scale it at a cat scale at 78000

    My 379 scaled out at 30K (light on fuel) with an aluminum 48' step deck...my Chaparral flat allowed me to scale just shy of 50,000 lbs.
