Narrative:
I was in orlando watching the company load my C208B with what I was told was 1551 pounds of cargo. The volume did not seem too unusual for that amount of cargo. I then departed. The takeoff; climb; cruise; and landing were all normal. At destination; operations said they thought the cargo weighed more than 1551 pounds; so I asked them to weigh it and it was 3270 pounds. I wrote the airplane up for the overweight landing.
