Obvious case of TAIL WAGGING THE DOG here. That trailer probably weighs in excess of 80,000 lbs and the tow vehicle probably only weighs 15,000 lbs.
Its not safe in a half ton or a class 8 to have a trailer outweigh your truck... you can only safely do that with a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
Forgive me, I don't know how to find the sarcasm font.
80,000 lbs would be the total weight of the tractor and trailer. Weight in trailer is generally less than 50,000 lbs.
