    Operative words here....."ramp leading up to the scale"! No solution is going to be possible until weighed on a real truck length platform scale! JMHO!

    This post also makes me scratch my head trying to figure out how a truck driver doesn’t know that sliding a 5th forward won’t reduce trailer axle weight??? Someone said moving the 5th only adds to the steer axle…this is bad info.

    What because weight transfer is real?
    It does not hide weight, just distributes it. I couldn't explain how to hide weight to this crowd.
