What I am saying is that if you are going to use GVWR to decide how to load the truck, you cannot then use the GAWRs to know if you are okay. They will ALWAYS be higher than the GVWR.
Yes, but if you do use the GVWR as the most limiting factor to load the truck (as I did above), shouldn't I also look at the individual GAWRs and the actual weights on those axles to be sure I'm not way out of whack somewhere in how I loaded the truck or trailer? I wasn't attempting to say the combined axle weight ratings on the truck "overrode" the 10,000lb GVWR, just that my actual weights on the axles was well below their individual ratings.
What I'm still trying to figure out is did you post this...

The problem I have with most people who weigh their
trucks is that they mix "apple & oranges". The truck has a GVWR of 10,000#. Then they use the GAWR for the other weights rather than the GWR for each axle. The two GAWRs will NEVER equal the GVWR because they will be higher. They are higher for a reason and you should TRY to stay within the GVWR and not the GAWR. But that is for another thread.

...in response to the weights I posted to point out something I did incorrectly? If so, I'm still not getting it - not trying to be argumentative, just not understanding.
