I hate math....

Approximately... I have seen 350 depending on product and placement.

Your blowing your own mind dude. PM me when you come through Phoenix, and in 20 minutes you will have it pat. I'll walk you through it all.

 

In almost 20 years driving various fleet trucks I've NEVER had a suspension PSI gauge. I've never seen a Pyro meter in the last 15 years, nor a brake application gauge.

Owner operator trucks are not average nor representative of fleet trucks.

 

Model of trailer can also give you different figures, as not all trailers have their holes spaced the exact same way. 250 per hole on a Great Dane could be 350 on a Wabash, for example (may not be the correct numbers; I just used arbitrary figures for the sake of making a point).

 

Here is an old link covering the same info about how to figure where to set the pins:

Yep true. I had a load that was 29000 the other day. Problem was it was on 4 pallets that they put all the way in the front of the trailer. Had to get it reworked, couldn't get the drives under 34k no matter what I did.

 

The formula isn't really that complicated.

[r1(cosθ1+i⋅sinθ1)]⋅[r2(cosθ2+i⋅sinθ2)]=r1⋅r2[cos(θ1+θ2)+i⋅sin(θ1+θ2)]

 

That's the one for metric.

 

Don't make it harder than it is. If you need to move a lot of weight move a lot of holes, if a little weight less holes.

A suspension gauge helps but it's just a matter of practice and experience.

 

Try sliding that example 14 holes and let me know how it works for you.

Your logic is flawed.
