A train doubles weight question

I put empty 28 footers,in front of,22k 28 foot pups,all the time

 

1,000 lbs is highly negligible. I think my state has a tolerance of 2,000 lbs. My personal tolerance is around 3,000 lbs. If you are pulling a twin screw, nobody at the scale would even notice that you are running them out of sync.

 

You sir are crazy, but I like it

 

Don't sweat 1k. I won't rebuild a 2k difference if I'm not going far, but if I cross a state line anything over 1k gets rebuilt.

Never know when Johnny DOT decides to have his bad day all over your cdl.

Also watch that rear if its empty. They can jump around like a fish.

 

I had a 20k front box and 3k back box once,crossed the AZ scales,and my singe drive axle was 1k over,so the DOT told me to go around back and "fix"it..I was thinking "well how do l do this without a sliding 5th wheel" So l rotate my boxes,cross the scale, and he says your legal on all your axles now get out of here,Ok Dont have to tell me twice,Was I legal to have a light box in front of a heavy box? I dont know,but l didnt get a ticket that day..

 

And ain't that a fine kettle o' fish?

And they wonder why we can't take the DOT seriously. Inspecting and weighing for safety my big toe.

 

Well all l can report is what happened,not why it happened,maybe he was just being cool that day and didnt want to write a ticket,maybe he was tired and wanted to go home so he didnt give a lecture on the line up of the trls,or maybe they dont care about the weight per trl, just as long as your gross & axle are good, then your good..

 

A-train, B-train and C-trains.

A trains, same type of converter most ltl use. B trains, tandem super B's, C train, rear axle slide out like GFS.
