Hello, in Illinois the limit on a tandem is 34,000. But I believe that there is a higher limit that is called axle tolerance, does anyone know what it is. What if I get caught on a weigh station with axle weight that is above 34,000 but within axle tolerance. Would I be required to rearrange my weight before proceeding? thanks

Lots of states have some sort of leeway for various conditions. Doesn't look like Illinois does. Only thing I see is exemptions for special operations.

Illinois is so broke they need all the money they can get, best thing to do when in doubt is navigate around the chicken house, all of them are easy to get around.
