    Wow, that is one heavy truck! Mine weighs in at 21,200 lbs with me in it, 300 gallons of fuel, a small garage worth of tools, a steel cabinet headache rack (600 lbs) 14 chains and binders, my dog, and all the rest of my securement stuff except tarps. It's a '98 International 9300 with the 72" midroof. If you get into much stuff that pays by the Cwt, you'll probably be looking for a lighter truck when it's time to upgrade.

    I have really never messed with a reefer but with that kind of empty weight what kind of payload do they usually put on you? On my flat I am usually around 31,500 empty and my loads usually around 45k to 47k on steel.
