New to tanker, overweight tandem axles

Yes, do this.

 

That's a good idea. I would suggest weighing after you dump the tractor airbags, if you have that switch. Since your weights are close enough you should probably get away with running it, I would weigh with my tractor airbags dumped. If that gives you legal weights on the axles, I would CERTAINLY run that load as is. Dump your tractor air bags on the off-ramp and cross the scales.

 

I would run it with all of that. Your weights are close enough for my taste.

 

No, I’m over regularly. Only thing I don’t care about as long as it’s not excessive

 

Run it. I pull smothbores and single compartments. I'm always 35k on my drives. Never had a problem.

 

This is clearly a great thread--but the REAL takeaway here that I just couldn't help but notice (from the above post):

"Stick with tankers, reefers suck."

Run it!! Like every one else said no biggy. If you are pulling the same tank most of the time fifth wheel plates on tankers can be unbolted and moved back. That being said some are already in the most rear position. You are making to much out of nothing and weight tickets do Not go on your record and you got a text from the company telling you to run it that they accepted liability.

 

Just dump your airbags on the scale lol

 

some trailers have airbags that dump when you set the brakes.

if yours is one, just set the tractor.

I never set both on a scale.
