Hummm. Been doing for years? Then how did the undersized vehicle come into the picture. Yes, obviously they dont know much or they wouldn't tell you to pull a 3500 lb trailer with an escape. Yes the trailer can be taken to a scale and weighed all by itself.
Yes, as i said its a pain to weigh all that stuff but what it accomplishes through that huge sacrifice is that the vehicle and the trailer are not OVER LOADED. Its tough, but its just a way to do it using math, not by guessing or emotion.
If its difficult to weigh an item or several small items you can hold the item or put items in a box and hold the box and weigh yourself then get back on the scale with out the box of items. Then subtract your weight from the weight of you and the box of items and you will have the weight of the box of items.
The weight of those items is then put in column form and added together to establish the total weight added. Its not opinion, its not advice, its not individual expression, its fact. Good luck.
