{"text":"I'm at half tank with a front heavy loaded trailer.  my steers are 11680,  drives are 34380, and tandems are 32820.  My tandem are already max forward.  \n\nIf I move my 5th wheel 1 notch forward I will be overweight on my steers and not be able to fuel.  Is 380 lbs going to get me a ticket????","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"just a thought but what would the weight transfer be sliding the 5th wheel back 1 or 2 notches....would that shift any weight to the the trailer and off the drives? might be something to explore","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Personal I wouldn’t worry about it but who says you can only go 12000 on the steers. The steers is determined on your tire size most can go up to 13000 moving the Fifth wheel a notch will give you insurance. ","replyToPid":0}

834825 发表于 2020-03-08 02:26:20 I was in almost exactly the same situation a couple of weeks ago... So I slid my fifth wheel one peg... so instead of being three or four hundred over on my drives I was like 150 over on my steers....... I went over to \"weigh in motion\" scales and didn't get pulled into the scale house...

","text":"The next time I scale, I need to see how much moving my 5th wheel changes in a notch rather than assuming 500 lbs","replyToPid":340660}

","text":"moving the 5th wheel is not supposed to cause significant change in the tandem weight....but it's an interesting thought","replyToPid":340659}
