Default Weight of Truck

I took some stuff to the dump today and the #s dont seem right.

First of all I have a 2004 Quad Cab 4X4 SLT Hemi short bed, with a sliding rear window (if it matters). I weigh 195 lbs. and the truck had a full tank of gas (filled up 2.5 miles before).

I pulled in at 6000 lbs Even! Emptied it and pulled out at 5600 lbs. I dont believe it is statisticly possible to have 3 even weights.
6000 in
400 lbs of crap
5600 on the way out.

Has anyone else had their truck weighed? Does this seem right?

If it makes you feel better my trucks daily curb/wet weight is 8200 lbs. 2001 F250 QuadCab 7.3L 6 foot bed with sliding rear window

Honestly, the dumps will round their numbers just to make it easier, or make more money [8D]

You are probably looking at gross vehicular weight, meaning the total maximum weight of truck, people and gear.

I had a full tank of fuel too. So I should have weighed closer to 5900 then.
