Stop at weight stations with TT ??

[mgarland48]

Go once to a place that will weigh your TT unloaded, then once more loaded with everything including a full Fresh water tank. That would be your heaviest load. Check the weight of of your tow vehicle, including tools, full tank of gas etc. 1+1 is your max. You'll be good forever, within in a + or - at least.

Might even carry a couple of passengers in your tow vehicle to be on the heaviest side you may ever carry.

Thanks, I will stop the next chance I get. It will be very helpful to know the real weight of my loaded trailer.

I was going to ask this same question! Thank you.

Never been through a closed scale before,,,,,, I've often stopped in the off areas at them to stretch and let the dogs out. So, there is an outside display on even when they're closed? I had NO idea. Thanks for that tidbit!

This is a little funny to me.
I used to deliver feed to farmers right after I got out of high school. The truck hauled 12 tons in bulk bins. Once every 2 weeks I had a 2 ton load that I took past the scales on I-65 in Indiana. After the third time going across the scale, the State Trooper came out and looked at my load ticket, He then told me I didn't have to stop and waste my time. At that time we didn't need CDL's or log books.
