Steer axle weight issue

There should be a air suspension gauge that shows pressure on the bags at least the drives. If you are pushing say 50 pounds a bag it's a safe bet you are 34K

Now, research this carefully and verify with a cat scale so you know exactly what your bags will tell you. )And mark that guage with different posiitions

I cannot recall the last time I gave any particular #### about the weights up on the steer provided I had tires with good big weight capacity under there just in case i ran into a DOT having a bad day and wanting to write.

 

Are you using the same trailer all the time?

If it is a different trailer, does it have a 36" or a 42" Kingpin?

Have you ever weighed your tractor axles individually when you first bought it and compared it to the present weight.

Have you checked that for some reason the fuel tanks haven't moved from (vibration, loose tank straps) forward and put weight on your steers?

 

No one has mentioned trying a different scale and see if it's the same.

Also , I've weighed many empty trailers for my company, same manufacturer, same specs, different model years, and found differences up to 1000 lbs from trailer to trailer.

 

I don't know if the ride height on the tandems would affect steer axle weight that much, but the leveling valve could be bad.
