    I'll go up to 12500 on steers as long as the other axles are good and not over gross.. 1gal of diesel is = 7.6 pounds for me.. Tires are rated 12500

    I get loads from Gatorade in Wycheville, VA that are sometimes unscalable for 34k in VA but there are no scales to NC where the limit is 38k. I really hate those runs in case of a random stop before NC.

    Edit to clarify- 35.6 drives 34,080 tandems. I could have shifted some to steers but not that much

    50lbs overweight on the trailer axles.....


    so basically you needed to up your post count? congrats! it worked-

    please do not take this as sarcastically as it may read because i am not being that way but you'd never make it pulling an end dump if you were truly concerned with being 50 lbs over. 50 lbs. 50 lbs. i am attempting to grasp/comprehend the need for rolling with it or not.

    but hey,i just upped mine as well.

    What company says no overweights? Overweight tickets aren't a moving violation, nor do they ding your record. The overweight ticket is just a revenue farming technique for the state.
