Over on my drives, under gross.

Sliding one hole was a challenge until they started to sell those forged machined pins you stick into the hole YOU dont want. That was later in our time. Just take em back out and count em to get all of them. It's like 40 dollars each.. but cheaper than overrunning a hole and generating a ticket.

Here is another trick. I don't think you want to do it anymore... load cell measure has gotten very good.

Hit the preweight with just half a tire off or a tad less on all of your wheels. If you are able, hit it to the left on the front and cross drift and hit it on the right with the trailer. Threading a needle. Preweight sits there adds up and thinks wtf?

You will probably get a red turn here please papers please. It did that the last time I tried it in roanoke nb.

 

Where people are having trouble is that many of the Trucking schools teach that the limit on the Steers is 12000 lbs. That is incorrect. Each truck has its own limit on the steers. It comes from the limit on the axle or the limit on the tires. Usually that limit is 12500. So sliding the fifth wheel one notch forward is the correct answer provided he has a 12500 limit on his truck.
The limit is the lower of the two of the tires, (amount is on the tires) and the axle (amount is on the tag on the inside of the drivers door.)

It doesn't matter how many rodeos you go to if you are letting the bull ride you.

They are all the way forward. I have no more room for adjustment. Fifth Wheel can't go any further or I will be over on my steers. So I'm going around scales and doing the fuel boogie.

 

So what exactly was the purpose of this thread?

 

All this for 120lbs? LOL

 

Well I get to eat crow on this one, I hope it is delicious. Spoke to a trooper and he said I'm allowed 20,000 on my steers (tire dependant) thanks to everyone who knew from the jump. Learned something new today.

 

Va and Tennessee both write tickets for that. We've been getting nitpicked due to a former driver doing some stupid #### while getting inspected. He's no longer leased on here but we're still paying for it.

 

Get your skinnyass off the truck and your fine. You're under gross and the scalehouse ain't gonna mess with 120 over. SMH!!! Is this kindergarten trucking?
