Hi guys i am trying to find what is the deference in weight of deferent trucks and brand of trailers. I am pulling reefer and my truck and trailer are way too heavyTruck International Prostar 09 + Reefer Carrier Grate Dane 2005 + 2 full tanks 100 each and APU /2 spare tires and 3 sets of chains/ i am 37580 very heavy
My bobtail only with full tanks is 20500. I am overweight almost every heavy load.
what is your weight?
How heavy is your truck and empty trailer with full tanks of fuel?

Ur empty weight is 37.5 with a class A vehicle plus 200 gal fuel? My mixer is 37 empty as a straight truck. Never realized how heavy I really am. Fully loaded I gross around 77k +/- depending on the mix design of the concrete.

i have a 2014 cascadia with dual 100 gal tanks and 75 gallon reefer tank, pull utility and great dane trailers, empty weight is approx 36000. grossing out normally 78500-79800 most times

27200 empty trailer and full of fuel haha. But I pull tanker lol
-
2011 Prostar, 240 gallons fuel, no APU, six single chains, my fat butt, all my crap, late model Wabash, Hyundai or Great Dane trailer I'm at 34,500 which doesn't help you at all since I only pull dry van and you're pulling reefer.

Something is amiss here--just not sure why---05 379--285wb--tripak 150 gal tanks(course rarely fill em)2011 53' triple reefer unit Dane Everest 50 gal tank--36.5k mt---load 45k+ regularly--usually run in 1/3 fuel or less though--thinking of going w/SS next time around--have some friends that have--& w/basically same set up--down under 35k---But haven't seen fuel savings predicted--so im on the fence.....
Wonderin--how much your chains weigh---Why u have them--& r ur spares mounted?& why 2? -
but i need them because sometimes i run I80W and NW. The spares have one rack under trailer and another behind the cab

2012 Pete 386, 53 Utility reefer, 240 fuel tanks, 6 single chains, load locks, my junk, my big butt, no APU yet etc, right at 34900 if the truck and reefer are full of fuel. I can scale pretty close to 45800 if I run light on fuel which I do sometimes if I am hauling a dry load to get out of Houston. I knew those Pro Stars were heavy but dang, that would be tough to work with.

My bobtail weight only with 2012 630 Volvo, 150 gallons of fuel, super singles, 75 lbs of tools
in left side box, two large cases of water in right box, two weeks of clothes, snacks, and my
212 lb body.......17,600. Overweight, never. With our new Dart trailors with super singles,
can run over 49k in the box legally.
