    Hey @truckdad

    would you post a picture of a California 7 axle with an excavator loaded on it to show how it works in reverse … you will see how he has to load the machine so far forward to keep weight off the trailer axles.

    the reason I asked him to post those pictures is so you could see how far forward the center of weight moves when you run multiple axle groups that are unbalanced.

    He can load 92k plus on the front end and only 60 on the trailer.

    you will only be able to load 46kish on your drives but near to 69k on the trailer
