    Wow beauty eh?
    Slide tandems two or three, drives would be a little over, burn off some fuel, you're good.

    With those numbers I would drive on. But, those are legal numbers (or will be in 5 miles) for a flatbed. :-D

    Geez stexan. Of course every load is different and those are the numbers ive been taught and have worked well for me. Thats why you adjust and reweigh and if its still off you go back to shipper. If you dont know the weight shifted per whole, how do you know how many holes to shift?

    It is not a fixed amount per hole. Try it with a 15 pallet 45000 potato load.
    How would you load it?
