Has anyone ever weighed how much cargo they carry in a full time rig? What is the average?

Did have a number of people on another forum come back and say that can't happen. So I offered a challenge which no one took up. That was overload your truck, then take it in for service and see what the dealer says to you.
Sure, dealers can say lots of things, so can Dodge. I've had a few warranty claims denied because they felt something unrelated voided the warranty. I challenged their 'finding', went thru arbitration and won. When you force the burden onto the dealer or manufacture legally they'll often back down if they have no proof to back up their denial.
That said, if you exceeded the load ratings then items that can be affected may be denied warranty. But not the entire trucks warranty for unrelated items. If challenged the manufacture has to show that the damage was caused by the overloaded conditions and not a manufacturing defect. That often means going thru arbitration or further up the legal chain.
