    No way to slide tandems/5th wheel and correct weight - or are you over gross - or over on an axle . . . more info please!

    Contact the shipper - or your company. Chicken coups are chicken coups. You'll need some form of resolution before you can go. Typically it'll be pay the fine and go, or have a forklift and truck come out to adjust/remove some of load.

    Hi l&s. not to chew you out, but unless the load shifted, you should have made sure you were right before you left. I know, too late for that now. Where are you over, gross, axle? If you can't get it right by sliding the 5th wheel or trailer axles, you are going to have to break the seal, and move the product by hand. ( I did that with lumber in a container once). You don't have much choice as they won't let you go until it's legal. Good luck.
