"Excessive axeling"

Never heard of that on the contrary you can get a ticket for having the tandems too far back on certain states. Maybe he lied and had them all the way back?

 

Oh maybe I had a misunderstanding since I just woke up. Let me clarify if your tandems are too far to the rear of the trailer on certain states you can get a ticket. Depends on the state they have their own regulations. I know California is the worst if I recall correctly and don’t quote me it’s 40feet from kingpin to the front axle of the tandems.

 

He telling you the truth, Michigan and Maryland you can get to short with a 53 ! Welcome to the funny farm ,their concerns are tail swing and the bridge laws

 

Before March 22, 2018 that was true in Michigan. The law stated on trailers over 50' long, the rear tandem axles had to be between (iirc) 37 and 45 feet from kingpin to center if tandems. The law was changed however and now there is no overhang nor kpra restrictions in Michigan.

 

If Axl Rose doesn’t start a new band called “Excessive Axeling”, he really screwed up.

 

Your recall ability remains accurate in this instance. If your load is going to California, set your tandems accordingly. Bridge law is strictly enforced in California.

 

Florida requires you to have your axles forward, too. However in Florida they allow you up to 40k on your axles, so you don't have to worry about your axle weights when you slide your tandems. California wants you axles forward AND they still require 34k maximum on your axles.

 

It’s not a bridge law, it’s a KPRA regulation. Bridge regulations are for weight.

 

Back axle, not front axle ... 40ft to the front axle will be illegal.

 

Sing it!
