Need help with Tenn bridge law

From kingpin 41' to the center of the space between the two rear axles.

 

Midway between the rear axles is valid for Tennessee. In orientation, we were taught to always measure to the center of the rear axle. I provided the link to the TN Motor Carrier Manual.

 

Unfortunately it is not called the bridge law, this is a very common misconception. Its actually called the kingpin rule.

Kingpin rule has to do with the spacing between the kingpin and axles on the trailer.

While the bridge law has to do with weight on the axles themselves.

Although I did learn something new by reading this.
