I'll try to be more plain next time.
That sounds like a nice little route, just remember old raton 287 still uses portables to hunt.

The only time I have ever been overweight was on my drives 640 lbs in Maryland. Total weight I was good. Couldn't slide tandems anymore. Scale house called me in, gave me a level one inspection. (No violations, got my little sticker) He did give me a ticket though for $59. Paid the fine over the phone that night and had a lecture on bridge weight from safety. That was May 2nd and nothing on my PSP yet.

If you move the fifth wheel forward maybe three inches you would probably be ok moving the trailer tandems back three holes. That should put you legal.
Cattleman84, Rideandrepair and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
When you add the drives and the tandems together you're over 68000 so there is no way to get them both at 34 or less without moving some of that weight onto the steers. Yeah, it's only 20 lbs but it would be a lot easier to get legal with more on the steers.Rideandrepair Thanks this.

Between Pendleton and Ogden theres probably atleast 100 places to get fuel... Did you forget about the state that is between them called Idaho???snowwy, Long FLD and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

depends on what trailer and what year. some are 11th holes. some are 16th holes. this is what we use here at wm. now i know you dont have the number on your trailer. but it can help get your head going.

oh forgot. just in case you ask. the numbers are wm only numbers. so like a trailer number 154600 great dane would be 11th hole from 41 foot mark. the 140,000 and 150,000 are 2 year or less year old trailers
