    Yep! Totally different here, but in my transfer dump, we're allowed 12.5 on the steers, 34k on the drivers, and 20k for each trailer axle. Just a little more attention paying is all, and knowing that 40k of the 80k max is allowed on your trailer alone makes things a little easier.

    Thank you all for the quick replys. I guess what it all boils down to is loading up an heading to the flying J here an scale it out. The racks that I load at do not have scales except for one, but that one I harldy pull out of and it just gives you a gross, but what im really concerned with is my 12, 34, 34. My tanks are mounted directly under my truck doors (06 volvo) with sleeper. 125 on the passenger an 75 on the driver. My dispatch gives me general amounts to load so that im within legal limits........but we all know how resourceful the dispatchers can be......
