    (I could haul my old truck fully loaded inside my new truck without being over gross, if it would fit, of course, and it almost would. It used to be funny parking next to a 53' trailer.)

    2006 Columbia, full of fuel (150 gal tanks), 1998 Utility with a Thermoking Reefer, also full of fuel I weighed exactly 46,000 lbs empty a couple of months ago. Figured I should know my empty weight.

    Sabine, you may want to scale that again...46,000 seems awfully high for that setup.

    I was kinda thinking the same thing. My buddy who pulls a 48' spread axle reefer with his w9 can get his light weight down to like 34k.
