That was MY luck,,,go half hour to get around one, get back on the big road, talk to a truck going the same way, "driver was that scale open back there?" "Nah, all locked up",,,

NEW WEIGHTS
11960
33560
32160
Is the 11960 still ok for future loads?
Yes it's a freightlinerOxbow Thanks this. -

You may need to adjust future loads. But for now, you’re solid. Unless your tanks are dry
Even that shouldn’t hurt you.

What SteerTire said. After scaling many loads, you will get a feeling of where to place your 5th wheel.
-
For your 411, your allowed up to 12,500 on the steering axle long as your gross isn’t over 80k.

Reason for edit: stupid AUTOCORRECTTombstone69, Oxbow and Raydar Thank this. -
If your axle and tires are rated for it, you're allowed 20k on the steer axle, IIRC. As long as it's spaced 10' from any other axle, and the lbs per inch of tread width complies with state law.Raydar Thanks this.

Kemosabi49 is right, trailer tandem 2 notches forward, or sell some of your fuel.
