California..overweight vs over length

The 53ft dry vans i have run in the past. 40ft was not quite all the way forward. Or just get a marker or piece of tape and measure from kingpin 10ft at a time all the way down the trailer . that will give u more accurate answer as to if u have any room left to move it

 

If it's a newer Utility reefer, then the second hole is exactly at the 40 foot mark and legal in CA. I have a 2019 Utility reefer and live in CA. Never run overweight here. You will get nailed when you least expect it.

 

Absolutely not. You could try skipping past the scales and see if anyone comes after you. If so, you may just end up with a charge of Disobeying a Traffic Control Device, which is easier than sitting to have a load reworked.

 

Slide the tandems back and roll. 99% chance they won’t even notice, especially with no mark on the side of your trailer. Not sure where you’re going but Truckee is about the only scale you don’t want to blow because they’ll just come to the Ag check and get you.

 

If you have time, run up 95 from 10 to 40

 

Easier to run banning than all that other stuff . they will not come after u. They are dealing with the other 500 trucks that are backed up onto the interstate with cars whizzing past at 90 mph without a care in the world. Not to mention all the trucks they are doing inspections on . i woldnt worry about it .
