    I still have one more notch I could have moved forward and if need be. Tomorrow I’m picking up a 73,000 pound load that’s close to my max and I will see how much weight gets distributed to my steers. while I have your attention, would you by chance know what the button to the left of the left axle is for? picture attached

    I’m probably wrong on this but it looks like it locks out the auto steer function on your pusher.

    Possibly a steering lock for your lift axle? You don’t want to back up with the steerable lift axle on the ground, that truck should be new enough that if properly configured the axle with automatically lift when the truck goes into reverse.

    That’s correct in regards to lift axle lifting in reverse and park. Maybe it’s to prevent it lifting in park?

    How long has your carrier been doing heavy haul? Were they not just a Chicago dry van carrier? I might be way off in this but this is the problem in this industry carriers branching out to stuff they have little knowledge on. Then they bring the rates down in that sector as well because to them it pays good compare to dry van. I’m not bashing the OP clearly he is trying to make a go at it.
