    So I've been at this at a Loves for about an hour.

    Is there some trick to getting an accurate weight? The employees don't seem to know any better than me.

    I pulled on like I saw on the video and they said that's wrong.

    Or is there some truck to that? I don't think I have 101k on my axles.

    The load should be about 47k total of rock.

    Something is messed up with the scale. Your allowed 12 on steer 34 on each set of tandems. If you add 34+34+12=80k. You only have 23+23+10=56k

    You are under 58,000 lbs according to that.
    Hit the road and go like Fumanchu.

    Are you trying to split weigh with a spread axle? Or just regular weigh?

    They said I should stop on the scales as normal then pull forward for a second weigh with axles on the 3rd and 4th pad.

    That weigh ticket was the result.

    Me thinks it added the weight on the right column as well. 44k +57k is 101k

    Might want to learn actually regulations before giving wrong information.
    Plus, you are assuming it's a tandem setup....
