the other issue is height of center of gravity, which gets higher as you load the truck more. the allowable center of gravity height is up to 70 inches. the truck floor is about 50 inches high and i estimate the center of gravity of empty truck is probably about 50 inches high as well. if you were to load up the truck evenly to the roof and up to the max rating of 33,000 lbs you would go just above 70 inches on COG height. of course that is a highly unrealistic scenario. realistically to push COG above 70 inches you would have to overload the truck. which is another reason why i would rather drive a half-full truck twice than pack one truck to the roof. it will simply be more stable due to lower COG, in addition to not overloading the axles and not increasing braking distance etc. but the main reason is i am simply not good enough with planning to get everything in there the 1st time. i am a worthless loser, i know. the first haul will be mainly to test the waters, to set up base in Orlando and to free up some space in NJ because right now there is so much shit in here i don't even have room to pack.

the other issue is ride quality ... rear axle has auto leveling air suspension while front axle is leaf springs so if i don't fully load the front axle it will be bouncy and thus harsh for me in the cabin ... but the truck does have air ride seat so it would smooth some of that out ... but maybe actually ideal weight distribution in my case of having a low total load is to put more of it towards the front that way front axle is closer to capacity and doesn't bounce as much ... rear axle will simply automatically air down the bags to match the load ... this would produce optimum ride quality but not optimum handling nor braking ... for optimum handling and braking i would have to put the load closer to the rear axle ... sometimes i envy all you retards who never have to think about any of this ...

basically the truck itself is designed to handle 33,000 lbs max ( including the weight of the truck, which is about 16,000 lbs. but without CDL license you can only load it up to 26,000 lbs, which means that after the weight of the truck you can use about 10,000 lbs of load. now the empty truck weight is about 50/50 split between front and rear axle at about 8,000 lbs each, but the front axle has a max rating of 12,500 lbs ( the rear is rated 20,000 lbs ) so the trick is not overloading the front axle because it's just 4,000 lbs away from being overloaded already at empty, versus rear axle that is 12,000 lbs away from overload basically you can only overload the rear axle if you have a CDL license that allows you to use 17,000 lbs of load. without CDL license you can only use 10,000 lbs load so even if 100% of that load goes on rear axle it is still within axle limit. but if even half of the 10,000 lbs load goes on front axle it will get overloaded. that said i will probably have only about 3,000 lbs of load so it won't matter where it is placed but i will still try to be Autistic about it and use the most ideal weight distribution possible ...

jokes aside the reason it will actually work is because i won't use the full load capacity of the truck. i will use about 1/3 of it. additionally when they say "put heaviest items in front" what they really mean is put sturdiest items in the front which may be heavy but not DENSE. because the items in front are the ones that will get crushed during braking so they need to be strong, but they don't need to be DENSE. so i will try to put large furniture in the front, because it is strong, and even if it is heavy it is NOT DENSE. it is heavy in absolute terms but not relative to volume occupied ( low IQ people cannot understand such nuance, and therefore AI cannot understand it either since it simply summarizes the stupidity of peasants ) then in the middle i will put the DENSE stuff like my Olympic Weights and Kettlebells, boxes with books etc. and in the back i will put all the flimsy stuff. then in the very back the stuff i will need FIRST like an inflatable mattress so i can sleep on something before the Niggers show up to unload the rest of the truck. that's the plan in any case.

according to AI, for proper weight distribution in a straight truck "place the heaviest items in the middle of the trailer" and also "Keep the heaviest items as far forward as possible" you got that ? you might say AI is retarded and you would have a good case for that but reality is that both of those are the official advice from all the sources. what's happening is if you put them in the front they will overload the steer axle so you actually want them in the middle ... but then under hard braking they will slide forward and crush the items in the front, so you want them in the front ... good thing i am a physics genius unlike retarded truckers and retarded AI but i don't know how i will explain this to Niggers who will have to load the truck ...

i am losing the war against people using apostrophe to make something plural Low Information Voter was right - that train has no brakes the average mind simply can't comprehend that you don't need to put an apostrophe before every s at the end of a word people have that mistake even in their account names i thought it was bad enough when people misspell MY name but they also misspell THEIR OWN NAME i give up

AI is the most dangerous of retards

i have accepted that the first truck will be a learning experience more than anything if i survive the second one should be relatively smooth sailing
