New to tanker, overweight tandem axles

If your in a smooth bore you can dump the air in your tractor to lower the fifth wheel and level things out some. Might or might not work. Don't try running like that though.

 

Yup run that load , if they pull you on the scale dump the tractor air while the load settles down. If the trailer isn’t full to the top that will bring some weight forward.

 

It's It's holiday weekend. So probably scales closed. But that some sketch #### with the text message

 

Run it ….

Got any hoses in tubes or trays that can be pulled forward?

 

You said you let the load settle for two min.

Did you lock the bakes?

Two min is not long enough to settle down a tanker.

Scales are level and we taught drivers to leave the brakes off.

Yeah the tuck will roll back 'N forth a few inches but that allows the scale to weigh the product and not the motion.

If you get scaled, bump the brakes and goose the throttle it make it rock and roll. You will get a green light.

I wish I had a collection of pictures of first time guys walking away watching the truck roll back and forth torn between beleving me or rushing back to set the brakes....

 

You seem to have made up your mind so enjoy sitting there till Tuesday…..

I’ve got 40 years tank experience… I’d run that load without even thinking twice
