I own a Featherlite 3111 car hauler. Without
pulling up to a DOT scales, I cannot determine the
actual empty weight. Can anyone enlighten me as
to the actual empty weight?


What does Featherlite say?


Smartass answer:
1) OK, first you rent the crane...


Alternatives:

2) Go buy or sell some scrap metal. They'll weigh you before and
after.

3) Go to your local landscape supply yard and ask how much they'll
charge you to weigh your trailer, or truck/trailer combo. Chances are
that this time of year, the guys will do it for free to beat the
boredom. (Oh, if you're in a snowy area, rotsa ruck. They may be
closed for months.)

4) Quarries have scales, too. Go ask there. At worst, buy half a
yard of gravel for five bucks. They'll weigh you before and after.

5) Some concrete companies have scales.

6) Search the Internet. (no 3111) http://tinyurl.com/k3rmnsb full url:
