SmartWeigh

Thursday, June 6, 2019 - Texarkana, AR

This morning, Mike took the truck over to be weighed.  Then we hitched up and took the rig over to be weighed.  No surprises on the tractor, it had no issues with any of its weights.  However, we were surprised by the trailer results.  We figured we were a little overweight on the trailer, but we were surprised by how much we were over.

We have (3) 7,000 lbs axles with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of 20,000 lbs for the entire trailer.  While we are well under the weight ratings for the pin, axles, and tires; we are over on the GVWR for the trailer by 1350 lbs.  :(  Our rig needs to go on a diet!!  A job we will start working on tomorrow.

After we were done getting weighed we headed out.  We arrived at Sunrise RV Park in Texarkana, AR.  As can be seen in the picture, it is pretty much an open parking lot.

It was another wonderful day!
