Hi guys.
I have 34,100 and 34,210 on my tandems gross is 79,990. Can't adjust it to the steers. Will they bother me on the scale in NE, IA, IL???

all depends how far you are from any of those scales
rolling across they would never be close enough too tell
i would roll not even think about it
but that is just me -
your good if they pull you in just get mad cause they are calling you overweight
bottomdumpin and kw600 Thank this. -
They won't bother you. The scales are only accurate to withing maybe 400 pounds. A CAT scale is accurate to within 200 pounds. In both cases that only applies if they were recently calibrated. I was give a tour at a scale house once and they are able to set the limits when the alarm goes off like 35,000 on drives. They don't read every number. They wait for the alarm to go off.

Thanks all of you guys. Both Idaho scales gave me a green with 1/2 fuel. Was worrying about picky scales like in Kemmerrer WY. One day she gave me a warning for 50 pounds overweight.
