Take a pallet off to get under 80k. Then slide trailer tandems back to transfer some weight to drives. Just watch your bridge.
7-UP, kemosabi49 and mitmaks Thank this. -
First, unless the truck has an APU you’re over gross.. you would need to offload 5 to 600lbs.
Second, if the trailer tandem is currently slid all the way forward you would need to slide it back about 14 holes.. Depending on the route of travel you may not get away with it.
Personally I’d go back to the shipper and have it reworked.. -
First eliminate the over gross down to 78000 then move tandems of trailer to shift 3300 to the drives.
It's a bit much but that's the only way it will work. -
How much fuel does he have? If he's almost empty or 1/4 tank they need to take off at least another pallet.

If was my load, and I could get the axle close, it would depend on where I was at and where I was going, many states do not hassle you over 500 pounds, and if the only scales I was going to cross was in lowsyana, I would just pay the 6 dollar fine and be done with it. lol

I have the 500 pound apu exemption thingee, but, not all states accept that.. go back to shipper and get some weight off that then adjust tandems like driver above said
