Easy to overload SRW

Picked up some retaining wall blocks for a friend today. On the way back I fueld up at a truck-stop with a CAT scale and thought, what the heck, I'll just weigh this baby. Scaled out at 11,400#. My max GVWR is 9900#. I don't think I hurt anything. I have airbags for when I pull my boat to keep everything level so it didn't look bad enough to give me a clue. but I had no idea I was so heavy. Have to pay more attention in the future. My last turck was a dulie; however, I got so sick of those fenders sticking out I got a SRW this time. Time to start calculating load weights when just messing around or change my signature to "Stupid".
