Hello, We are loading 20 pallets at 2,195# each. 48 x 40 in 53" dry vans for travel from Seattle to California. what is the best way to load this with the California bridge law? Do we need to worry about tractor weight? fuel level? Thanks for all the help.
best way to load 43,900#, 20 pallets, in a 53'

Single in nose, then double, double til 2/3 loaded, then another single and rest double. That will take space of 22 pallets with 1000 lbs light in nose. You may want to turn the single pallets to make them more stable. I'm you will get more saying I am wrong, but it would also depend if you have a heavy tractor or a lighter one.

All straight in
Single double single double to end
I actually prefer single single in the nose... and the doubles together and straight down the middle so about 4" of air space between pallets and the walls... save the trailer walls DRIVE CAREFUL...
Show up with half tank or less of fuel
Edit.
I'd do 2 singles in the nose then the rest doubled all the way back. You don't want the trailer axles all the way forward and be too much under 34000. You will be fine for 2 or 3 holes back from the front to achieve 34000 on trailer axles without going past usually hole 5 for 40' ca kpra rule. All straight in again.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
But I'd go single, single what ever you do.rearview Thanks this. -
Why chimney block? I hate doing that with regular pallets, with chep it isn't too bad. In the produce world sideways pallets are a pita at places that only have those smaller electric pallet jacks - the forks don't really fit in sideways pallets
