{"replyTo":"","text":"Per axle or per axle GROUP?  20k is the limit in most states (when spread axle, or 17k per axle in tandem) with exceptions, such as Florida.\n\nI generally look at my air suspension pressure to get a general idea of how the load is balanced, along with the weights on the BOL, give me a good idea of the weight distribution.  When my ppw shows that I should be about 75k+ or deck shows greater than 55psi(overloaded drives) or less than 50psi on heavy loads (possibly overloaded trailer axles), is when I scale.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"So long as you're not over gross, or really overweight on an axle group, you should be fine. I've been scaled at 12800 on my steers and almost 39000 on my drives and they let me go. I did have to blow them, though.\n\nYour results may vary.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Anything above 34,000 with few pallets,  or 38,000 with many pallets unless I can eyeball the load, then it's a judgment call based on experience. \nThe only exception to this rule in my case is M&M Mars, I weigh all their chit!","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Yea, not all tractors are the same.  I had 34k on drives at 58psi, so I look at 55psi as my threshold to use a scale to make sure on my weights.","replyToPid":275643}
