Split axle weigh.

Usually used in calculations for overweight/axle permits, but can be used also for legal weigh. Take gross weight of axle group, in this case 34,000lbs on a tandem, divide by 2 which is 17,000. Take that and multiply it by .10 for 10% and get 1,700. So the axles on tandem should be within 1,700lbs of each other at 34,000lbs on the group. 34,000/2=17,000. 17,000 x .10=1,700.

 

It could if both axles are fed off the same leveling valve.

And as far as I know all spreads should be a single leveling valve anyway unless custom spec.

And you will still classifying them as seperate axles, so your 20,000lbs on each axle applies still in most states

 

2 axles 8' or farther apart are not considered a group anymore. They are two individual axles that's why they should be weighed individually.

 

Ever sat at a Loves and just watched? Six is right.

 

Don't even have to set and watch just have to drive by and glance to see the idiots at work.
