Negatory ghost rider, that pattern is not full!
On a Utility air ride CA legal is the 7th hole if you count from the very front. Meaning the first hole, then the welded shut hole is two, etc...
These crap FFE trailers that kllm now has/uses, they have double the number of holes.

with her attitude,a great one it seems to work around drivers,she probably had truckers asking her to marry them on a daily basis.that is why she is no longer around.
wonder if she learned enough to straighten the school peeps out?NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
Glad some one else knew that,have been taped at the scales.

Don't count from the front. Get a tape measure and measure from the front of the trailer to the kingpin- normal is 3'. So minus that from 53' you get 50'. So measure 9' from the back of the trailer and there is your 41' mark. Set the middle of your back tandem tire at that mark. Easy as pie. Then remember what hole your in and write it down somewhere so you remember.
