what does your truck weigh?
 

my whole driving career i've been driving columbia's. never had a issue with wight but they all had detroits. mine has a cat. yesterday i was at a scale of a shipper. 39790 in the box, a rail car and my truck. weight was at 75580.

my truck is a 04 columbia, c15 cat (mbn if it makes a diffrence), 227wb dual exhaust and a 70 condo.

a buddy of mine told me that a 379 is the lightest truck you can buy. my dad's t800 is lighter then mine.

so.. whats yours weigh?

well let me think...don't know exactly because I always tare with a trailer.

1998 T800 w/M11 Cummins, 230" WB, 72" bunk (I think) = 30,000 - 10,700 for trailer weight as reported on the dealer's spec sheet = 19,300 approx
2008 T660 w/ISX Cummins, 244" WB, 72" bunk weighs approx 1,000 more than me.
2005 T2000 w/C15 Cat, 244" WB, weighs approx 2,000 more than me.

almost all of the extra weight is in the engines because it shows up on the steers. The Cat has to have the 5th wheel all the way back all the time.

I drive a 2007 Peterbilt 387 with a Cat C15, 237" (methinks) wheelbase, a ThermoKing TriPac APU, air deflectors, side skirts all the way to the back of the sleeper, 70" high-rise, and dual 100-gallon tanks, and it's somewhere between 17,000 and 18,000lbs. I can't remember whether that's with full tanks or empty tanks. Since I'm 100 miles from it right now, I'll check it when I go back to work Monday.

rank, my truck scaled weird. my front axle of the tandems was heavy the rears not so much and 10200 (aprox) on the front.

mine 2010 t408 your t600s twin steer tandem rears log bolsters and headboard 11tonne metric ,isx 550 cummins

99 Volvo 770 with volvo 425 engine and a 13 speed. Moose bumper and a headache rack with about 400 feet of 5/16 chain. Comes in around 21,700.

my 389 with a C15 weighs 21,500
my 379 with a C15 weighed 21,800

heavy ***** trucks

I only know mine with a trailer.
359 Pete, combo flatbed all the gear, right around 30,500 that's with me and my wife in it.

Hey mike3fan click here

Do you really believe in that number? With full tanks and 53 box i'm around 34,400...depends on a breakfast....

The daycab i drove at Venezia came in around 14,300lbs. That was an IH 9200

My tri/axle comes in light at 25,300lbs.

2010 KW 660 bobtail-19,500, with empty 53ft van-35,000, hauling paper loads-constantly pushing 79,000 or more. I found the sweet spot for the 5th wheel, front quarter flaps at the edge of the front of the trailer, it depends on how it was loaded, I'll be 12,200 on the steers, 33,000 drives and 33,000+ on the trailer at the 40ft mark.

my 06 volvo 780, volvo d12 10sp auto full tanks is 20,300

i honestly dont know its what the bills stated. the scale (which could be off) is what made me think.

My 08 T660 with 2 120's 72" areodyne and to the hilt with straps and chains with a 48x102 step is 30,580 lbs

99 W900 studio sleeper, dual 150's Cat 600 18speed full of fuel with wet line, 22,400

'06 T800, ISX, Studio, 244", twin 150's...20,000 full of fuel with two people and all their gear.

'09 Int. Prostar Skyhigh w/Cummins ISX, Carrier APU and 275 gallons is 21500lbs.
Can only haul 43500 in a reefer with 1/2 fuel.

Ok, I checked. It's 17,481 + 440 for the APU, so 17,921lbs. for an '07 387.
I also checked a newer 387 with a Cummins ISX and it's 17,397.

That makes me want a t800 that much more. Detroit with 120 gallon tanks and we're talking 1100 lbs lighter or so. I assume the tanks were full?

To the neck. I do have wide-base tires and a few other lightweight specs. The T8 gives you as much latitude as any truck when it comes to spec'ing.

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.

Most weights printed in the door are dry weights

Aluminum wheels are 60 pounds each, steel are 90 pounds

i wish you could get a t800 glider.. same specs as i said before just with a n14 525 :thumbsup:

my dry weight is stamped at 17893

I know, I was just trying to be tactful, lol. My stamped weight is 17,2xx.

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.

2006 KW T600, 500 ISX (PDI tuned :) ), 13spd, 24.5's, Tripac, 86", duals, centramatics, subwoofers, microwave, flatscreen, 150's, and a bunch of stuff in the cab and a 18lb pug puts me at 21,480#.

And yes, I still lurk here :)

Sounds familiar :)

aannnnnnnnnd today.. overweight fine.. 800lbs gross over. had about 3/4 fuel.. accoring to the BOL it was only 40k in the box.. but that has to be wrong.

... 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.

2007 volvo vnl780, ved12 engine, automatic, 250 tank, an a bunch of crap in the cab makes for 19,780 bobtail...

Still have the dog on board?

Sure do! :) She accounts for the additional 18lbs.

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 :)

pugs shead like crazy??? try having my boxer! i swear so much hair on the floor i thought i had a carpet!
