    Pretty exact numbers; are those the stamped weights off the door frame? Are they "dry" weights?

    i want a t800 in the worse way. 72" stand up sleeper, 475 ISX, 3.42's and a 13 speed would be ideal. yet they're hard to find. i'm getting highly annoyed with my columbia. had 44k in the trailer the other day tanks 3/4 full the weight was 80240. i'm also hoping its because i haul rail cars and i still have all steel wheels on the truck.

    T8's are definitely more prevalent in the mountain states and provinces out west than anywhere else.

    Are they "dry" weights?
    Most weights printed in the door are dry weights

    i still have all steel wheels on the truck.
    Aluminum wheels are 60 pounds each, steel are 90 pounds

    Stamped weights, yes. I don't think it specified, but I'm pretty sure they're dry weights.
    Also, both trucks had 10 aluminum wheels and we don't carry spare tires either.

    ... and I'll wager a dozen of Krispy Kreme's finest that you didn't put that beast on a CAT Scale, eh? (not that I can entirely blame you)

    i run off the rail, it'd cost me a arm and leg for every load for a cat scale. and there is none on 83 going south.

    That's cool. Me and the wife are thinking about getting a Puggle and bringing it on the truck. Make things interesting.

    Pugs shed like crazy, but I'm not sure on a hybrid breed like that. Get a good dust buster, and a roll of quarters for the vaccuum at the 'Beacon
