Say a trailer is rated at 15k.....
Assume said trailer is loaded to the max at 15K.
15% of 15k is 2,250 pounds
Theoretically, the trailer now has 12,750 pounds on it.
If this logic is flawed, please explain.

Yeah it's flawed.
The trailer still has 15K lbs on it, but only 12,750 pounds is carried on the trailer axles.
