This is interesting. There is so much mis-information out there. For 6 months we were pulling a TT that we were told was 7800 lbs dry. Come to find out it was really 10,200 lbs. We have been wanting to find a truck weight station and test for ourselves what are weight really is just to be sure. But dont know if we are permitted to do this. We just thought it would be a good way to know for sure. What do you think? Anyone every tried this before?
I don't know about your state, but up here in Maine, if the scales are open and busy, sometimes we find a "portable" State Police Scaler, usually in the spring, but most anytime. If not busy, you can ask if you see one, if they'd weigh you. This way you can weight each axle as well as whole rig. Or check w/your local S.P. barracks. Your taxes pay them don't forget.
