Over Weight

That would be hard to believe if your 5th wheel was all the way forward, but it could correct if your 5th wheel is all the way back.

You can take 2,000 pounds off the steer axle by sliding from forward to rear.

 

Where my 5th wheel is at, which is about 2/3s of the way back, my front axle weight does not change. Does not matter if I have 25k or 45k on the drives I have about 10,500 on the steers.

 

you still have a problem 82,520 slide all you want cant change that number

 

Your cargo is loaded forward instead of centered in the trailer. The front is ok as it is below the 12,000 (12+34+34=80) yet your still over the 80,000 by 1.25 tons (unless your supposed to be an overwieght load).

 

Same with mine, steering is always light even with the 5th wheel over the front drive axle and 50k on the drives.

 

As the members have said, your over however you do it...

 

You didn't scale before you left?

 

Solution for when a dot officer come over and says "your over weight!"

Just look at him and say "you think im fat?" and start crying......might work just saying.....
