Fuel adds real weight to a vehicle. One hundred gallons of diesel fuel weighs approximately 730 pounds.
Federal law places a burden on truck drivers to make sure the load is adequately secured. See 49 CFR Section 392.9. It is generally not a defense under this regulation for the truck driver to claim that someone else loaded the vehicle although shippers, manufacturers, and distributors may also be liable for truck accidents caused by load shifts. This federal regulation also requires the truck driver to regularly inspect the cargo during transit.
The Department of Transportation evaluates vehicle weight by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. GVWR is established by determining the weakest of all the components that are used. Each component has a weight rating provided for it by its manufacturer. For example, the tires, rims, suspension, axle and brakes all have known ratings. here

Obviously, the size and the weight of tractor trailers and other big rig trucks are why truck accidents are incredibly dangerous. The average empty tractor trailer weighs approximately 30,000 pounds. Full truck loads average 50,000 pounds but our truck accident lawyers have seen cases with loads as heavy as 80,000 pounds. Tractor trailer combinations are typically 60-70 feet long and 8-9 feet wide.
The gross axle weight rating, or GAWR, is the most distributed weight that he truck can support. more
A utility trailer's weight capacity is limited by its axle rating. Axles are rated at various capacities from 1,000 to 10,000 pounds. Exceeding the maximum load capacity of your trailer creates a dangerous situation in which the axles could break while you are on the road. Understanding the limitations of your utility trailer and properly balancing the load are essential for a safe trip. Two methods will allow you to determine the rating of your trailer's capacity.
Weigh the cargo you plan to load on the trailer, using a scale. Make certain you don't exceed the trailer's maximum load capacity as determined in the preceding step. more
Record the trailer's axle weight rating from the data plate. This will be listed under "Axle Capacity."
