Sooooo. We are mid travels between races. On our way to Bellingham, WA I just stopped at the Flying J in Jerome, ID. I just did the certified scale weight. My rig is completely full with cargo, liquids and waste as I normally travel. Here are my weight numbers. Based on the pictures of my door tags I posted above. I believe I am 150 pounds below my max. Is that correct?
Steer Axle 5200 lb
Drive Axle 7080 lb
Trailer Axle 13960 lb
Gross Weight 26240 lb

Granted, this comparison is "splitting hairs" but demonstrates what's been said by numerous posters to this thread. He's going to be "at/over his max GVWR and payload with that truck and trailer".....

Well now you know, just don’t eat too many burgers between trips!
As to how this related to the OP’s situation, you have 4,500#+ payload, the OP only has a 3,000# payload so would likely be starting out about 1,500# overweight.
