Loading a dry van without a tractor

Loading a dry van without a tractor.

How much weight can you load in a dry van with no tractor under it? I don’t want one of my trailers to end up as a meme ….

Watch out for those landing gears, they’re tough but not invincible

Keep it balanced, or you’ll be the star of a ‘how not to load’ meme

Without a tractor, you don’t wanna exceed 12,000 pounds on the front axle

I would check the trailer’s landing gear rating and make sure it can support the weight of the load. I would also check the trailer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and make sure it doesn’t exceed the maximum allowed weight.

I would avoid loading a dry van with no tractor under it unless absolutely necessary. I would rather wait for a tractor to hook up to the trailer before loading it. Loading a trailer without a tractor can be risky and damage the trailer’s landing gear or suspension

We had those, but the tweakers stole them.

+ If it’s a 53 just load it. If it’s a 28 you’ll want to jack it up

All depends on the size of the trailer and the weight of the product.
