Overweight Ticket Oregon Split Axle Flatbed

Do slide axle spreads have seperate leveling valves? Don't guess I've noticed it before on one

 

If they have only one and it is defective or slow acting that could explain it. I had something similar. Kept skidding tires on one axle. Valve was working but slowly. Changed valve and voila! Problem went away. I don’t know that much about the inner guts of the valve, we figured it got dirt or moisture in it causing it to not keep up. Loaded and empty it was leaving one axle lighter and when breaking it would lick the tires on the light axle. Didn’t do it all the time either.

 

Sorry you got to donate to the gubment but glad you found the problem

 

Good catch. Makes sense now that you say that. Trucks break traction easy with air bags down.

Little nuggets to keep in mind

 

I have always had only one leveling valve on my spread trailers, but I also install individal dump valves for each axle. Driver error could cause this by messing with the dump valves while crossing a scale I suppose. I just can't imagine who would do such a thing!
