    Would you run this load?

    Tandems are all the way forward as far as can go toward/closest to the cab of the truck .
    Nothing I can do to bring the weight down on my steers.

    I am thinking to have the shipper reload the trailer.

    Weights are.

    12940 steers
    24840 drives
    16160 trailer
    53940 gross

    Reefer load.

    Sounds like you got an LTL type load. Meaning the shipper loaded the trailer like you were doing a second pickup.

    If your steers are rated for 13,000, run like the wind!
