pulled in the I-81 scale in N. VA this evening, DOT said "you are 1000 LBs over on your drives, pull around back and move them up a couple"
moved them up 2 pulled thru and got the green. i guess the truck that weighed that load from the yd was a DAYCAB LOL
there is ONE GOOD thing about virginia!

That's exactly what I would have said to the DOT officer.
panhandlepat Thanks this. -
The scale on US 58, just outside of Norfolk, let me slide off 1700 lbs.
I was shocked! My heart sank when the red light didn't go out and she came on and said, "You're 1700 lbs over..."
I thought for sure I was going to be making a donation to the Virginia DOT. -

i HEARD that driver. when i can SEE the load i put the rear axle in the same spot as the front axle is relative to the nose. (meaning if the nose of trailer is even with the front of the front drive's front edge)
i put the rear axle tire's rear edge under the very end of the load. (i walk it off in the trailer LOL)
ALWAYS been close as long as the load is all the same product and loaded to the nose. sometimes these heavy loads have a bulkhead built in the nose
this is a #### 46,150 lb load LOL
