Overweight on my drive axle 34340lbs, can I slide my 5th wheel?

Ga will allow 35k before that day anything. But, I wouldn’t worry about 300 anywhere

 

Virginia will make you move it, but they will give you an hour to do so.

 

This guy driving and responding on the forum?

 

It sounds like your doing multiple drops if so be aware that taking a few skids off the back of the trailer may add weight to the drives sometimes and may require sliding trailer tandem up a notch...

 

This is true and possible, especially if you have very heavy product at the rear of the trailer [behind the tandems], and very heavy product in the nose, and only a few pallets are removed off the back from behind the tandems at first stop. Example: 4,000 pounds behind the trailer tandems may have been responsible for lightening the drives by 400 pounds, now it's gone after the first stop.

Can you not move trailer tandems forward a notch to two? (Assuming they can take they weight that is lifted off of the drives)

 

Maybe he's roaming the country with 11 on the steers. Seems to be the thing to do these days.

 

Anyone have a reference to the 1% tolerance or is it just kind of a unwritten rule?

 

Slow down on the gravy topped items at the truck stops.

 

I doubt it if he’s in a modern fleet truck. They try and spec them as idiot-proof as possible.

 

It depends on the state.

Utah allows 1% but I have no clarity on gross or axles or both.
Montana allows 1,000 over 80k provided axles are legal.
Wyoming allows over but must be registered and have legal axles. I don't remember the whole details with them.

California and Arizona I don't think allow anything. Except maybe the apu thing. And I"m just going off hearsay for those 2.
