    how much was the ticket, did you get an inspection, and why on earth would have done that in the first place?

    Shouldn't this be common knowledge ? And why would you run them all the way back anyway Florida allows like 44000 on a set of tandems so it wouldn't be for weight distribution

    For emphasis. OP, do you know the Florida bridge law limit, and how it is measured?

    At least Florida is more cooperative than California.

    If he didn't know about the tandems being all the way back, he is either isn't very smart (not a real requirement these days it seems) driver, or a newbie.

    he got nailed for it..? and he is here telling us about it..??

    good, serves him right.

    there are just some things a driver shouldn't admit to, so as to avoid getting bashed about it for his own stupidity....
