    I’m currently loaded at 79679. 32880 trailer 34020 drives 12460 steers. I’m fully fueled and have an apu. Think if I burned some diesel off I should be ok? Also is the apu exception for the drives or gross? Thanks for the help

    It’s for gross. I would still run like that. If you’re really paranoid you could move your trailer axles forward one hole, or if you really want a challenge, move your fifth wheel one hole forward.

    20lbs, Don't sweat it you will be fine. You can always say you were legal when you left the shipper, you just ate a big lunch.

    My tandoms are slide as far forwards as they can go. My main paranoia is the weigh station on 80 going through NJ. I’m safe up until there

    20 pounds is about 3-4 gallons of fuel. I'd run with it.

    In 20 miles you will have burned off 20 pounds.
    And where did you find a scale that measured down to the pound?
    79679????
