Not entirely true. If the trailer has a ball weight above 90 when its empty, its quite dangerous to load the trailer in such a way as to decrease the ball weight. That means everything behind the axle. Not a good idea.

If the trailer has a ball weight of 90 or less when empty, then you could possible load it with all the extra weight centred over the axle and possibly not add too much more weight to the ball.
