    Depends on where your fuel tanks are.

    On my century and columbia the fuel tanks were just behind the steers and the weight went on 75% steers, 25 % drives.

    On the cascadias I've run the batteries and the def are next to the steers, shoving the fuel tanks back a foot or so but the rear of the tank is still well under the cab, so I tend to get about 66% & 33%. The cascadia where the filler nozzle is by the catwalk the math will be different.
