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
We had truck scales at home growing up and if you sell anything they have to be certified. The NIST says within 1/2 of the unit on the scales. Ours had 10 lb marks so it had to be within 5 lb.
