Donnie welcome. I hope you aren't using the "published pin weight" in your spreadsheet as that's no where near a realistic number. The gvw on that 39' trailer is 14K. A "typical " pin weight is around 23% of the actual (not empty)trailer weight. That pin weight would be close to if not over 3,000 lbs. and that doesn't include the hitch.

Do yourself a favor and get the real weights from a scale. Stay safe and enjoy.
