He got to do his squats. Floor tile project in the works. 1,728# in the bed, 4,536# on the trailer, plus the trailer. Roughly 7,100# total.

Nah, don't do this often enough. In fact, this was first and probably last for that much load.

Thank you. It's been a great ride.

As for a sign-off, no. Actually, the estimate was a total of only about 4,000#. Guess we were off just a bit ;-) The GCWR was probably not exceeded. Somewhere around 12,000#, maybe? Interesting question, actually.
