    set your 5th wheel to make your steers weigh 12,250. and leave it at that. really no need to be moving it back and forth. only your trailer tandems.

    states don't care about your 5th wheel setting. they only care about your bridge length. the distance between your kingpin and center of rear axle. in most cases.

    I believe the front of the Rand McNally road atlas should give you the settings for each state.
