I think rule is no more than 44000 max in 40 ft something like that I forgot don’t matter if you can’t scale it anyway. I’ve seen them break in halve loaded heavy in center with beer more than once. Brand new trailers
Loads over 38,000 pounds in a van.

Only on state routes. On the Interstate and US highways it doesn't matter.SixShooterTransport and Oldironfan Thank this.

I’m talking about manufacters suggestions or maybe the Carriers put a mark with a max weight rating on inside of trailer. Haven’t seen 1 in a while. Bridge law is a little different in every state. Atlas good source for that.
Oldironfan and jon69 Thank this. -
Van trailers generally has a bridge deck rating of about 10,000 on 20 feet in the middle. You really cannot be belly loading those things, they will absolutely break in half. Kerplunk and that's that.
Oldironfan, jon69 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
He just needs to get 2000 shifted from tandems to drives. Load reworked but i don't know how he's going to bring the kpra closer.
x1Heavy and Oldironfan Thank this. -
They should be good for 1000 per ft never had problem. But so many like to load heavy in middle. I try to explain there’s no frame just side rails and cross members.Oldironfan and x1Heavy Thank this.

Indiana is 43 to rear. So probably 41 to center. Cali is 40 to rear. and has always been the shortest state.
Looks like the op needs 41 to center. The map says GA "none specified"
