I did this every time a company put me into a different truck, just to cover my own butt. Didn't matter what any of the specs said, I had proof of what it weighed in at. Besides, manufacturer's specs do not account for your gear and you. Running it over a CAT scale does. Add a set of chains to the equipment, and the weight of the tractor changes. (Or, if you hang them under the trailer, run the whole rig over and see how it will affect your load weight.)
