3000RK Loaded Weights

[Okie Guy]

I pulled in to get some diesel over the weekend and noticed the scales in the back of the truck stop. I didn't have any food in the fridge but I do have the pantry stocked. Tanks were completely empty. I did have a full tank of diesel at the time of the weigh.

steering........4220
drive ..........6020
trailer.........8500
total weight...18740

If you have a 3000RK lets compare weights.

well we have a 3000rk and your weight on the 2 axels is good empty at 8340 and once at 8600 and full at 10140 with supplies but no water or tanks but you will find if you weigh the axels seperate the front axel weighs in at 5980 lbs and the rear at 4600 lbs so the 5200 lb axels are not heavey enough as i had mine changed to 6000 lb axels so now i am just in the pink as they say... My unit is a 06 also so i don't know what year your unit is john i am digging through old paper work as i think the rear axel cares 5980 and the front 4600 lbs , that is why my rear axel went straight

i just looked my stering was 4780 lbs and the drive 6240 trailer 8340 for a total of 19360

I am confused here, I have an 08 3000RK and the sticker in the cabinet say's my empty weight is 10,135?? Am I looking at it wrong, why is there such a difference in my weight to your's??

Waldo: 15-20% is on the pin not the trailer axles so when you weigh the trailer hooked up it should weigh that much less.
