Im missing the front four tires on my trailer tandems. Have all reat tires. The tandems were chained up by mechanics after removing the tires. The company says I can drive like this to finish delivering my load of 73k. Still new to trucking around a yearish, but I dont know if this is legal. Thanks for help.

Ummm chances are dang near 100% that you're overloaded on the remaining trailer axle. I think (keyword being "think" lol) that you'd be ok if you were still within legal weight limits and applicable bridge laws.

The outside left blew, but the tandem bent enough to pit the ourside right tire sticking outside of the trailer abot 5 to 10 degress. Company had the mechsnics temove all fpur tires and chain up the tandems

If you were empty or light, sure but at 73k I can guarantee your going to be way overweight on one or more axel groups only running 4 axels. I would tell them to fix it now or pound sand. Plenty of jobs out there.

You can drive like that only if the trailer is not loaded. There is no way that is legal at 73k

Thats what im.thinking. i was at 32k on the rear tandems with 8 good tires. But the company says i can drive like this.
