You really need to go review the results of the actual scale weights that stripit published in the drv forum. The above statement would not be a surprise to you if you had. He found that 100% of the SRW trucks towing drv units were overweight. The majority (IIRC) of DRW 1 ton trucks were also overweight.

He has multiple years of actual scale data in a database format to indicate those findings. Scale data gained through weighing each wheel not just by axle of both the trucks and trailers.
