help with weight

That is only correct as long as the equipment is certified to carry that load. The axle and tires have to be rated to handle the load for this to apply.

 

Exactly what I said, I even explained that the max rating is based upon 3 things, tire rating, axle rating, and state law, so what is your point Hardly Working?

 

Boogity boogity boogity.

 

50 some posts because a driver wasn't releasing his brakes while scaling.

 

me too if anything sometimes i have trouble getting enough weight up to my steers. with my pre emmisions mack e-7 im only 10.5 on the steers bobtail. then with the pusher axle i have to run my 5th wheel way forward to get 12k to the steers

also 13k steer axles are becoming pretty well standard on new trucks due to all the extra weight there putting up front to meet emissions.

 

i run 12 +42+42 legal a lot

big thing is know what your steer axle rating is if your running 13k on your steers check and make sure you have 13k steer axle and then go get the right tires put on. then you will be fine.

 

I do that and that load I ran at night to keep the temp down. Probably made no difference but I felt better. Ha

 

So being. 12,500. 34,000. 20k. 20k

 

Same here always trying to get more weight up front for oregon If your going to have 65k on the deck you need to get 12 -12.5 up front or your bridge weight can bite you in the ### I have only been heavy haul 6.months and I finally took the time to really figure out what I can do with my drop axles and now I really.love em
