You would be overaxle back there which is more expensive in fines than over gross to a certain degree.
What would be more important is who the state writes ticket to. Virginia wrote against the company. I got a 3000 dollar ticket to them one bad day. This was 80's money probably about 7000 by inflation today if not more.
Return to shipper and remove the 600 in beer.
Your company will need to know about this problem.
Also you will have to slide tandems where possible to get that 600 onto your drives. Even if it means shorting fuel. I think about 2 or 3 holes should do it. SOme trailers only need one.jethro712 Thanks this. -

they're not supposed to let you go out with an overweight trailer at all..if you choose to say I'm fine that's up to you..
I haul out of Cartersville all the time sometimes you're there for hours getting reworked and everything else would you pull out into the scale and you figure everything out and you look at it say am I good with it then you drive up to the gate to get your paperwork..if you have any questions and you say it's overweight you just tell them I need to have this reworked.Dave_in_AZ and jethro712 Thank this. -
Honestly they’re numerous states that allow over 34k on the tandems. Lots allowing 36K... Weird ones like New Mexico allowing 320 pounds over. North Carolina is very lenient as well with 38,000.
I attached a link below. All those numbers can also be found in the back of a Rand McNally Atlas.
