Aktually they were considerably lighter than their long-nosed counterparts. Shorter wheelbase contributed to this but also made them ride noticeably crappier than the alternative truck layout.
I didn't mean gross weight. I seem to remember something about how the axles weighed out that made them very sensitive to popping for a heavy axle. I might be mistaken though.

Not true if some of the load was carried forward of the fifth wheel (piling cantilevered over the cab for example).
