I'd run it. That's not terrible. If you have a full tank of fuel, you'll burn off some of the weight on your drives. You get 8 lbs to the gallon....do some math. Just don't fill up til you have no scales to clear. 20 lbs over on your trailer axles, you live with that.MACK E-6, FullMetalJacket, snowlauncher and 2 others Thank this.

If u have an apu you could use that exemption plus burning off fuel. Or slide the 5th wheel.
