Carryfast:
Guessing isn’t an option a certified weighbridge is the way to go for checking weights.
As a rough guess a 6 axle artic won’t take more than 25t payload even with a minimal weight flat trailer, probably less.
4 axle outfit will be lucky to take 15t these days with heavy units.
5 axle somewhere in between so 18t is as good a guess as any if it’s a 5 axle.
18t on a 4 axle doubtful.
you went for a 25 ton payload and said probably less (I’ve highlighted your words for you )payloads of 28/29 even 30 tons are possible so your 3 -5 tons out - your "probably less "quote means your 4+ tons out . Go look up several in the Oxford dictionary their definition is - “more than two but not many.”
Stop playing the victim Carryfast.
In clinical psychology, a “victim complex” or “victim mentality” describes a personality trait of persons who believe they are constantly the victims of the harmful actions of others, even when made aware of evidence to the contrary.
Most people go through normal periods of simple self-pity—as part of the grieving process, for example. However, these episodes are temporary and minor compared to the perpetual feelings of helplessness, pessimism, guilt, shame, despair, and depression that consume the lives of persons afflicted with a victim complex.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for people who have actually been victims of physically abusive or manipulative relationships to fall prey to a universal victim mentality.
Victim Complex vs. Martyr Complex
Sometimes associated with the term victim complex, the “martyr complex” describes the personality trait of people who actually desire the feeling of repeatedly being the victim. Such people sometimes seek out, even encourage, their own victimization in order to either satisfy a psychological need or as an excuse to avoid personal responsibility. Persons diagnosed with a martyr complex often knowingly place themselves in situations or relationships that most likely will cause suffering.
Outside of the theological context, which holds that martyrs are persecuted as punishment for their refusal to reject a religious doctrine or deity, persons with a martyr complex seek to suffer in the name of love or duty.
The martyr complex is sometimes associated with the personality disorder called “masochism,” which describes a preference for and the pursuit of suffering.
Psychologists often observe the martyr complex in persons involved in abusive or codependent relationships. Fed by their perceived misery, persons with a martyr complex will often reject advice or offers to help them.
Common Traits of Victim Complex Sufferers
Persons diagnosed with a victim complex tend to dwell on every trauma, crisis, or disease that they have ever experienced, particularly those that happened during their childhoods. Often seeking a survival technique, they have come to believe that society simply “has it out for them.” In this sense, they passively submit to their unavoidable “fate” as perpetual victims as a way of coping with problems that may range from tragic to trivial.
Some common traits of persons with a victim complex include:
They refuse to accept responsibility for dealing with their problems.
They never accept any degree of blame for their problems.
They always find reasons why suggested solutions will not work.
They carry grudges, never forgive, and simply cannot “move on.”
They are rarely assertive and find it hard to express their needs.
They believe everyone is “out to get them” and thus trust no one.
They are negative and pessimistic, always looking for the bad even in the good.
They are often highly critical of others and rarely enjoy lasting friendships.
