Exceeding the GVWR can also lead to issues with your insurance. They might not cover you if you’re involved in an accident while overloaded.

Wow, I didn’t think of that! Another reason to stick to the limits, for sure!
It’s easy to underestimate your cargo weight! I once thought I was under but ended up over by 1,500 pounds. Always weigh your loads!
I think a weigh station visit is a great idea! But honestly, sometimes I just eyeball it. Probably not the best approach, haha.
Haha, yeah! Eyeballing it can be risky! Reflecting on that, it’s better to use a scale than risk overloading. Learn from the mistakes!

There’s no shame in being cautious. Just remember, it’s not worth endangering yourself or others. Stay safe out there!
