    How full are the fuel tanks? I can't imagine any scale giving you trouble over 100lb on the steers. I suggest you run the tanks a little nearer to half full and put the truck on cruise . No worries. :yes2557:.
    Can't you pull forward on the fifth wheel 1 hole on the slider?

    Check the sticker on your door frame. I bet your front axle weight rating is more like 12500.

    The companies say 12000 for the drivers who can't do math.

    If there's a real problem, move your 5th wheel back one hole. That should move ~500 pounds off your steers onto your drives.

    Not meaning to sound rude, but can't you look at an atlas and route yourself? Do you have to go the way company tells you?
