Has anybody validated your payload sticker?
Just curious mostly. Did you weigh your truck empty and verify the payload sticker was accurate? Thanks! Jeremiah

Because of federal requirements established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology certified CAT scales will be accurate when weighing.
Transfer stations, graineries, gravel pits, dumps etc. scales can be close or 500 lbs off.
Use a CAT scale.
Actual scaled weight subtracted from GVWR--------actual cargo capacity/payload regardless of any sticker
I weighed my truck 'camp ready' to get actual available payload and then weighed truck/trailer every year
