Catching axle weight issues or payload errors after a work truck is built gets expensive fast. In this episode of the CVBNetwork Podcast, host Steve Henning sits down with Sorcha O'Grady, Chief Sales Officer at Truck Science. They discuss how pre-build software modeling helps fleets, dealers, and upfitters spec safer, compliant, and more efficient commercial vehicles before assembly begins.

Key topics covered in this episode include:
• Why staying under gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) does not guarantee your axles are legal.
• Managing state bridge formulas, side-to-side weight balance, and center of gravity.
• Real-world build mistakes that lead to fines, safety risks, and lost customer trust.
• Practical questions fleets and dealers should ask before buying a chassis.
