    I remember a chemical plant I went to in a 53' and had to slide tandems all the way up. I could still barely fit on the scale. It was built for day cabs.

    It would fit by inches and with the chemical I was bringing out everything had to be spot on.

    Years ago when a lot of places were axle scales we did it..
    no biggie, heck I still have to do that some times with the setup I have now, even on a Cat scale if the scale is to short...
