    Huh?

    Slide your trailer tandems toward the trailer doors and make it right and roll. What does the "12th hole" have to do with anything since you're not going to California?

    2 or 3 holes, either one, should probably work fine.

    Tell your FM and they should have you take it back to the yard or they might send you straight to Yoplait.
    Also tell your FM that you want detention.

    They will open appt at 90 to cover delay, just stress the detention.
    I once had a yogurt load 79990, they may have had a newbie loading the trailer.

    You have 1320 available on the drives, you are only over 800 on the tandems. Like STexam said, slide it two or three holes back and you will be legal. Rescale just to be safe.
