I dont suppose anyone would fly around at absolute max payload (133,800kgs) as most cargo these days is volumetric.
Maybe for you the cargo is volumetric, but that is not generally the case. Maybe the "Express" carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL generally bulk out before they gross out. However, I fly 747s at max allowable gross weight and with space still available very often.
