Message:: [QUOTE="Truckerbase, post: 12222240, member: 339121"]I don’t quite follow this last paragraph. You say “as soon as he’s over on his drives he’s over on his steers”. Your point, I thought, was to balance weight from the overweight drive tandems by sliding the fifth wheel towards the steers, bleeding off weight from the drive tandems to the steers. The port of entry had me at 10,000 steers, and 37040 on the drives, and 31000 on trailer tandems, so definitely overweight on the drives, but not remotely on the steers. If i understood correctly I would move the fifth wheel towards the headlights until I had the steers at closer to 12,000 and the drives at closer to 36,000 (or less to accommodate load shift), correct?…thanks for any clarifications…[/QUOTE]
