Which would mean that he is far from danger?
The weights you show say the truck weighs 9900# with the trailer on. The truck weight as 7800# subtracted from the 9900# weight shows the pin weight is 2100#. The total trailer weight is the pin PLUS the trailer axle of 8980# which = 11,080#. The 18,880# combined weight is the 7800# truck plus the trailer weight of 11,080# which is exactly right. It seems that you have matched trhe truck and trailer perfectly. I am assuming that the truck it a 1T truck, DRW or SRW?
