I have a problem that I need help with
I have 69 gallons fuel left in the tanks but my load weights this much
11360 steers
33820 drives
31800 tandems
I am at my first fuel stop and not sure how much fuel I can put in and remain still legal through out my trip.
Any help will be appreciated
Heavy load of dry goods

Slide your trailer tandems forward two holes. Diesel weighs 7.5 lbs per gallon. Buy 100 gallons. Should be fine.
tucker Thanks this. -
Fuel is about 8.8lbs per gallon 130gls= aprox.1144lbs, about every three holes on your tandems is around 1000lbs move your tandems about 6 holes toward the front it should add approx. 2000 to you tandem weight add that to your tandem weight now and it should put you around 33800 making your drives around 31820 add your fuel and you should then have around 33000. maybe just go 5 holes toward the front. Someone may say different.

The precise weight of diesel fuel will vary based on temperature and humidity, but is generally around 7.25-7.5 pounds per gallon. So the safest bet is to use 8 pounds per gallon as the number you'll plug into your calculations.Flipflops Thanks this. -
Slide them forward 3 or 4 holes and rescale.
You slide your tandems toward the problem. You need some weight off your drives, slide toward your drives, get it? -
Yeah, your wright straight stacks. I was thinking of a chemical I haul.
