    The gross was 81360. Had to lighten the load altogether. So we rented a U-Haul and donated it

    How could your gross be over 80k if your load was only 38k?
    Can't happen unless the shipper lies about the weight.

    Also, if you pull out with over 80K gross, didn't you notice that you were very heavy?

    The truck didn't seem to ride any different. But the officer said load over 20000-25000 could be over weight. And after checking the shippers site they had reviewa about overloading. So idk. Maybe they lied.

    After off loading and going back through the scales it was under, but still over on drive axels, so I had to move the tandems.

    The office said moving them, initially, wouldn't matter since the GVW. was over
