Every driver should’ve learned axle weights before they ever touched a highway.
12,000 on the steer.
34,000 on the drives.
34,000 on the tandems.
Simple numbers… until you’re sitting at a scale house overweight, sliding tandems back and forth like a maniac while DOT watches you struggle
The scary part is some drivers out here hauling 80,000 pounds and still don’t fully understand weight distribution.
Too much on the drives? Ticket.
Too much on the trailer? Ticket.
Too much on the steer? Now you’re really having a bad day.
A lot of drivers aren’t learning this in school anymore… they’re learning it the hard way at the weigh station.
