    The shipper is closed and my driver manager Vlad says I'm under 80,000 so its good to go, but I'm a little nervous.

    What should I do?

    run with it, and when you get pulled around back at the scale house just give them Vlad's number and tell them he said it was ok

    Are your tandems all the way back? Move them up all the way forward and see what you get!

    Looks like you're good on your steers and trailer. I'd say run it. I mean, 2 out of 3 ain't bad....cue Meatloaf

    That is after moving them all the way up.

    Even if they were all the way back, 20 holes x 300 lbs =6,000 lbs. I would still be a tad over. I would get under the axle rating though.

    Run it. If you get called into a scale just tell them you’re on your way to get another axle installed.

    Sounds like a crash course in the fine art of scale dodging

    Personally I'm about a fluffy 300 lbs.
    Vlad the implaler don't know Jack! And he can pay the near $1 per pound over axle weight. Or pay you to dodge scales like the Snowman!
