🚨 PSA for anyone hauling this summer: Overloading your trailer doesn't just break equipment, it can end careers.
Here's what most people get wrong about trailer weight:
❌ GVWR is NOT how much cargo you can haul
✅ GVWR = trailer weight + max cargo combined
❌ "It looks fine" is not a weight check
✅ Know your axle ratings, not just your trailer rating
❌ Your truck's tow rating and your trailer's capacity are two different numbers
✅ The lower number wins. Always.
Overloaded trailers blow tires, blow axles, and blow through DOT fines faster than you'd believe.
