Formula
Gross = steer + drive + trailer.
Each share is that axle divided by the gross. The axle weight calculator needs at least one axle above zero.

Axle weight calculator for gross weight
This axle weight calculator adds a steer axle, a drive axle, and trailer axles. The truck weight calculator result is that gross, plus the percent on each group. It is the weights you type, not a certified scale. Dengaro does not finance trucks today.

How it works
Gross weight is the sum of the axles you enter.
Three thousand two hundred pounds on the steer axle and 4,800 pounds on the drive axle, with nothing on a trailer, is 8,000 pounds gross. The steer share is 40 percent and the drive share is 60 percent. Add a trailer when the combination has one. The page does not know a bridge formula, a state limit, or a tire rating. If a limit is 12,000 pounds on a drive axle, you compare that limit with the number you typed. This truck weight calculator will not move weight between axles. Sliding a fifth wheel changes the split in the real world. Type the scale reading you have, or the split you are planning, and read the total.

Example
Steer 3,200 pounds, drive 4,800 pounds, trailer 0.
Gross is 8,000 pounds. Steer is 40 percent. Drive is 60 percent. Trailer is 0 percent. Put a trailer weight in the third field and the shares move.

Tips
Group tandem axles if you weighed them together.
If the scale ticket splits a tandem, add the two before you type, or type the group in the drive or trailer field. The page has one field per group, not one field per tire.

Important questions
Know what to expect.
Is the gross a published rating?+
No. The axle weight calculator adds the axle weights you type. Compare that sum with the limits for the trip.
Is the gross a legal weight?+
No. It is the sum of what you entered. Compare it with the limits that apply to your trip. This truck weight calculator does not store those limits.
What if I only have a total?+
You need a split to use the share lines. If you only know the gross, the page cannot invent axle weights.
Do steer, drive, and trailer have to all be used?+
No. Leave a group at zero if that group is not in the combination. The gross ignores the zeros.
