Lost control twice now, what happened?

How do you ever get legal with that? We'd slide our 5th wheels back for a better ride, because no weight on the steer. I'd never go over a scale like that. I like the "low trailer" ramps, btw

 

The old Fifth wheel centered is just a recommendation now its not a requirement. There is too many different spec of trailers out there to be able to keep it like that. Txdot dont look at position anymore they just look at condition of the coupling. If you aren’t overloading the axles you are good.
You see a lot more fifth wheels installed new that can slide back further than center.

 

I’m rarely over 70k, usually closer to 40k, and only slide forward if I need weight on my front end but I only have a 12k front axle and I carry almost 13k on the steers bobtail, full of fuel.

 

This old 1950 fruehauf/Carter 26 footer still pulls really good. Solid old heavy steel. It weighs 8100 Lbs. empty! also has a 31 inch pin setting so the fifth wheel is wayyyy back. Handles 7 round bales with ease. Lol.

 

Check tomorrow ? You should know that already.
