    @Ridlingdj my main concern as while I’m getting loaded to know when to tell them to stop so I’m not over weight I don’t want to get to a scale and have to go back because I’ve went over 80k .... and then with fuel let’s say I got loaded with a half tank now I’m on my trip and I fill up now that puts me over weight ?? So what’s your strategy with fuel and getting loaded if that ? Makes sense lol

    Fill up with fuel when you need it but I try to fill when I'm empty and you won't have a problem you will only ever get lighter
