Legal. You're allowed 20K on a single axle. Spread axles are considered 2 single axles, thus 20K per which is 40K. If there is an imbalance in the...
Motion has a tendency to draw your attention...which is natural. For many species, it is a defense strategy to freeze and stand perfectly still,...
Unless the self-check system has a malfunction and self-reports everything to be in perfect working order, or the malfunction causes the...
Then maybe driving isn't a good career choice for them?

I've never seen a broker at a shipper in order to have them refuse. Anything that can be run on a 102 can be put on a 96. Yes, you can overhang...
Don't want to rework it? Take it off & find another truck. I even went so far as to start pushing things off the trailer with a pry bar...still...
