What to Expect at an Oklahoma Weigh Station

Could always do what my dad used to do. Let any of them cars with more then the bare minimum of fuel idle for a while. A gallon of gas is around 6 pounds and if you let them idle a few hours thats around 120 pounds of fuel gone pretty quick. Bonus that you get to be an enviromentalists worst nightmare for a while lol

 

Oklahoma must be extremely anal if they care about that load. The Tennessee Super Coop coming out of Alabama on 65 weighs everyone including empty flatbeds and they let me roll with 35,000 on the trailer but under gross. Ky would let you have 1,999 over gross or axle, but not both.

 

I’m not a car hauler so forgive me if this isn’t a good suggestion, but can you rearrange the cars to shift the weight forward?

 

Depends on the load and type of rig it’s loaded on, but sometimes this is an option. I have scales on the tractor and trailer and if I have the space I could slide parts of the load. I am guessing not in his situation because he is very experienced and very likely would have already done that if it were an option.

 

Overweight in OK isn’t that big of a deal. Pay at the scale and you’re back on the road.

 

Fifth wheels on a stinger don't slide.

 

Most of the 75' equipment does, and a few of the 80' do.

 

mine slides 80 foot when slide in. 82 foot all the way out
