310GK-R 18K GVWR - which GooseBox?

Well, I asked for it and I received it - 18K GVWR with the 8K axles on the placard. So my question is, the axles are maxed at 16K (2X8K). Seems to me the max weight of the 310 would be 16K based upon the axle rating. Am I missing something?

My gut tells me to go with the 20K GooseBox because of the GVWR.
Thanks,
john

Yep, GVW is based on the minimum pin weight, also. There will never be less than 2000lbs on the pin.

As stated above, probably over 3000.....
