    I loaded at a mill and used my air gauges to legalize the load. I know my equipment pretty well and trust the air gauges all the time.

    I must not have been sitting quite as level as I thought....


    Short story is I'm 300# over on the trailer and can't slide anything and on my way east on I-80.

    Is 300# going to matter?

    I'd roll it down the highway. Especially on the weekend :biggrin_25514:

    Yep.. the only way out of this (if there is one) is to possibly slide the fifth wheel forward one tooth and then try and slide the trailers tandems forward a bit to even things out if you can,

    300# is a difference in scales.

    Roll on driver

    That's what I keep telling myself. I hope the Trooper sees it that way if it comes down to that.
