Trailer axle overweight--Going to CA

Am I the only one that would move it 2 holes back and call it good? I see guys running 41.5 feet back all day in CA. 6 inches over 40 feet ain't much.

Don't take my advice though. That's just what I'd do.

 

Destination would determine the route i'd go.

 

I was at the Dunsmuir weigh station in Shasta and after that experience at that particular spot in a dry van, I would not feel comfortable going through there overweight on any axle.

 

I pulled a dry van across Dunsmuir weigh station and was put into the parking lot for being 42.5. I fixed it to 40
And got back in scale. 1400 too heavy tandems. They gave me phone numbers for takeout, load rearrangement, etc. I didn't have time for all that and neither did my dm. He said make it happen. I called every number on the list offering a pallet of free lumber and we opened the freaking doors. I scaled, left, and played stupid at consignee since the dude loaded me too heavy any way.

 

I got cracked at 42.5 if that helps anyone

 

Yeah, 42.5 is pretty noticeable. But 40 feet and 40.5 feet is pretty tough to tell unless they measure it. IMHO

 

I appreciate that

 

Just avoid the whole problem?

 

Getting nailed in Cali. NOOOOO.
