Well It Impressed Me Again

Wow!! The only thing you didn't overload was the front axle. 1800 over on the REAR GAWR, 2000 over on the GVWR for the truck, and 3300 over on the GCVWR. Nothing like going for the Grand Slam. Glad you made it safe. Your lucky you didn't have something happen/fail on the way. Glad to see you did have a good WDH on the rig.

Yup. I was *very* displeased with the weights, and if we weren't on a time crunch with no other way to move things without another $7k in rental fees (yep, it was going to cost over $7k to rent a truck from CA to GA) plus time to repack/etc, I wouldn't have traveled like that. I was over the trailer GVWR as well, by approximately 1000lbs.

I even especially made sure I got a good quality WDH/Sway control before I left to be safe. I wish I would've spent more time communicating with the movers and watching how they were loading so it would've been closer to the trailer axles instead of all in the tongue, which at least would've helped a bit, but alas.

I did have to double-check the weights.

Rear GAWR: 3370lb
GVWR: 6050lb
GCWR: 12500lb

So I was over by:
Rear GAWR: 1810lbs
GVWR: 1190lbs
GCWR: 3280lbs.

Truck wasn't as overloaded as it seems, but as a combined rig it was definitely over.

It tows for us just fine.

This is the type of towing I hope to do now that my Ranger is out of its six-month hospital stay!
