    Right. As in don't hold your foot on the service brake pedal.

    Do you drive the same trailer? If so then its good to come up with an equation when you slide the tandems, youd be at the cat scale all day trying to get a reweigh.

    Start by figuring out how many pounds each hole is. So if drives is 34,250 and you move the weight back (tandems forward), and drives become 34,000 then 1 hole is equivalent to 250lbs.

    My reefeer trailer is 275.7lbs per hole, so its a little trickier for me.
