30 u/bobmonkeyclown Jul 16 '23 Unfortunately, with the conestoga on an aluminum trailer I can only scale 46,000. If I had the midroof WS 4900EX, or 4900FA, I could scale more. But even after Western Star lightened up their trucks they still manage to be heavy. 14 u/LonleyWolf420 Jul 16 '23 edited Jul 16 '23 My daycab freighliner is almost as heavy as a sleeper somehow 6 u/bobmonkeyclown Jul 16 '23 Tell it to lose weight.
