VOLVO 780 OVERWEIGHT STEER HELP!!

I recently bought a 2014 Volvo 780 with a cummins engine. I have only hauled two loads with it but I am having serious issues with the steer weight.

I do have an apu on the truck hauling a 53 ft reefer trailer and my unloaded weight with the 5th wheel all the way slid back (I also had my mechanic move the entire 5th wheel 10 inches further back) my weight is
steer : 12,240
drive: 14,380
trailer: 10,100
THIS IS EMPTY!! ;(

that's with only a 1/4 tank of fuel. My tires are rated at 6,175 lbs each. I am truly at a loss for what to do. the two loads I have hauled were less then 40,000lbs (37,000lb and 35,000lbs) and the lowest I could get my steer axel was 12,540 lbs.

please please any help with this is so appreciated I'm just trying to get myself where I don't spend 2 to 4 hours at the truck stop playing with my weight sending my log into a #### show any dot officer will see thru.

 

I am definitely considering changing the tires but realistically all this will do is possibly stop them from writing me an over weight ticket (possibly still writing it depending on which side of the bed they woke up on) I am also considering that the heavy steer will create open season to call me in to #### with every little inch of my truck which I would love to avoid at all cost.

I am so curious if this is something other Volvo 780 owners are going thru.
Any Volvo 780 owners cummins engine with an apu having the same problem

I am starting to feel like I'm the only one in the world
