Van vs reefer weight
Anybody know how much more a 53' reefer with its insulation and refrigeration unit weighs than a 53' van? 8)

I'm pretty sure it's about 1,000 lbs difference with a average 50 gallon fuel tank on the trailer. A 45,000 lb load is about what I can handle at the most. I could maybe take a little more if I got some of my junk out of here ! 8) 8)

Kinda depends on the construction of each. Could be as little as 500 lbs difference or as much as 2-3000 lbs if not more. On average I would say you were looking at somewhere around 1000-1500 lbs.

I think I'm about 36,000 empty full of fuel. I can't remember exact weight, it's been so long since I've been somewhere I had to scale empty. These 387's with the C-15 CAT are on the heavy side.
32,000 ? What the hell did you drive, a cab over day cab ? :lol:

real good answer there.
yep, I was never able to get much over 45500 at JBHunt(with a cab over international) dry van, or container, or at Westside transport- century & columbia with sliding 5th wheel,
at Polar Express with a T800 & pallet racks under the 53-- 42,800.
at Asche with a 379 pete & 53 reefer-- you never wanted to hit 45,000 at all-- 43,000 in the box put you max gross.
and here at Shaffer- I get scared/nervous at 44,000.

I can haul 45k with my '02 Volvo 770. I thought those were supposed to be heavy trucks.
