You'll have to weigh on a scale then adjust accordingly.

Pick the 40 foot mark to start. Do you have any gauge for either axle set now?

 

Depends on what states you'll be travelling through.

40' Kingpin to Rear Axle

What they said

Best thing to do ESPECIALLY when pretty new
Scale every load over 34,000k

 

Put the rear edge of the rear tire under the rear edge of the last pallet.

 

$10 for a scale ticket is cheaper than the overweight fine.
Guessing is for rookies . . .

 

hahahahah

OK
Well it's going to chomp your paycheck if you get caught overweight.

 

Yeah - I know. Elogs I guess?

You'll have to scale to be sure.

Hint - mark your air gauge if you have one on the drives with a small sticky pointer when the drives are verified 34k. May save time next time.

You can eyeball it, but if you're wrong . . .

 

That's why it's so nice to have a gauge on the dash for your drive axles pressure. And one for the wagon, if you have air ride trailer, but clearly this person is swapping wagons a lot, but that gauge for the drives saved me many times.

 

vs a pull in at weigh station because you didn't know exactly what weight was on each axle.

Bottom line: If you don't scale it, you don't know. Having a guess and knowing 100% are 2 different things.

If you're a company driver, most reimburse the cost.
