    during snow season I think shippers ought to load no more then 42000, they know snow and ice builds up and adds weight..

    while I'm thinking of it I recently caught a bad shoe on the landing gear of a trailer.I took it off and slipped it in cubby whole for repair later. had I not noticed it it could have fallen off while in motion landing who knows where. how the previous driver missed it is beyond me.

    Why would you assume he didn't see it. I would assume he did see it and was too lazy to get it fixed, bet I would be correct more often than you.
