You still have 250 lbs of lee way on the steers I would slide one pin on the 5th wheel to get you 34350 on the drives. Maybe the scale houses will let you go. I’ve driven a load 400 lbs over and had to hit a scale house they let me thru with that. I think it’s after 500lbs that they start bothering you but it depends on the guy too. Some of them I heard a real pricks give you a citation for 100 lbs over.
Relay weights different on my truck?

Not sure what setup your truck is btw. One pin on the 5th wheel slides about 150-250lbs depends on the truck and how the load is set up.

I keep my 5th wheel about 1 hole forward of center between tandems, NEVER all the way back, makes me bounce too much.

Sometimes some do not tie the load properly and a hard brake will shift the load, you will know when you open the doors and it looks all jumbled.

Have your lady get out of the sleeper and into the passenger seat and reweigh.

Move the fifth wheel and roll. a lot of states allow you more on the steer anyway,, and I have found that if you are just a few hundred over on the steer, I never get hassled.
