Thankfully, so far at least, I haven't seen any pictures of me headed home from Menard's a month or so ago. Seems I neglected to add up the total weight of the load. I made sure it was balanced, but oh boy, was I overloaded. No ill effects of the transport transpired. In fact, since I decided to add trailer brakes, even though brakes are not required on a trailer of that size, I had a shorter stopping distance overloaded than I would have without an overload and no brakes. Just imagine the stopping distance without overload but WITH trailer brakes!

Never, ever, EVER again will I have a brakeless trailer, no matter it's GVWR.

You're excused! Gotta take advantage of that 11% rebate while it lasts! :)

I know the feeling. I will never forget the lesson I got one day hauling 12' long sheetrock on a 10' trailer. Was a little heavy in the tail. nothing serious happened but it was a lot slower trip home than i expected.
