    On this load there 95 car/Lt truck batteries - average weight 34.5 lb; 14 Heavy Truck (class 31) - 52 lbs ea; and 12 Deep Cycle - 42 lb. Plus a few Lawn and Garden batteries and computer backup batteries. So, I figured at least 4525 ( 2 1/4 tons) plus pallets and 4x4's I'm using for rails. Trailer Payload is 4980 pounds so I actually have some left.
    Great haul! How much do you offer to pay for batteries if you don't mind me asking?

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
