You should be good. That trailer should be good for 10k. It would have a GVW sticker on it.

Yep you probably have 10k+ pounds with just the trailer and wood (including the weight of the trailer).

If you were worried why didn't you just weigh the trailer? Sounds like weight wise you're fine, but big tex has a lot of tandem 7k trailers so maybe not. There will be a stamp on it somewhere with its rating. I'd be more concerned about spreading firewood along the road.
