    Your 5th wheel must be sitting right over axle #2. What is your axle weight with no trailer? You must be going through steer tires quick.

    Yes, so what are all five weights? Im just trying to see where the weight is. To do that, we need all five axles.

    This was my last load and it was 41,000 lbs just so you can see what it's averaging.

    Good lord, those weights are wack. 5th wheel definitely needs to come back towards the rear, like every post before mine says. Lol
