When towing my vehicle behind my Uhaul on my DITY move, do I weigh it with my vehicle on the trailer or weigh it without the vehicle?

SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member The excerpt below is from the attached link.

Privately Owned Vehicle (POV): A privately owned vehicle can be used to affect your move. If you use a travel trailer or motorhome, contact your Personal Property Shipping Office for special guidance. Any POV in tow must be disconnected prior to weighing.

You have two options. If you don't plan on packing household goods inside of your vehicle, I would weigh the Uhaul empty and then full, but without the trailer and POV attached either time.

Another option, if you plan on packing household goods inside of your towed vehicle, weigh the empty Uhaul with the trailer attached and the empty vehicle loaded onto it. Then weigh all of them together fully packed.

Either way, the differences between the two weights will only be the household goods inside of the vehicle(s).

I believe truck and trailer only. Then weigh full truck and loaded trailer.

The weight of the trailer isn't allowed to be calculated into your weight. You have to weigh the truck without the trailer on it

Your best bet is to contact the transportation office to find out what your authorizations are.
