The 8800 on the door tag means the combined weight of the truck and it's contents cannot exceed 8800 lbs. That INCLUDES the tongue weight of the trailer attached to the truck, in other words the weight added to the truck by the trailer, that is the weight it carries, not the weight it pulls. The 18000 lbs is the maximum weight of the truck plus the trailer, the weight of both the truck and trailer when both are on the scale. For safety of both the truck and trailer, you do not want to exceed the weight limitations of either one. Using a scale: With the truck ON the scale and the attached trailer OFF the scale, the weight should be no more than 8800 lbs. The weight of the trailer and load alone, not attached to the truck cannot exceed the GVW of the trailer.
