    I never claimed what's in the atlas is accurate and was only using the chart as a guide to save my own skin when I reach a weigh station

    You're fine to slide them back, none of the states you mentioned require you to be 41' or less.
    I'd slide it back to the 43' so its legal for wisco and role on.

    I will try sliding the tandems back a couple of holes and reweigh. However I will have to do it tomorrow morning as i only have four hours to drive and not very many truck stops to park at on i76 east
