Pulling a 48′ East spread axle with an FLD 120. Weighs 29-30k empty. Put on a load of 44′ steel beams today, loaded in the center of the trailer. Tried to roll on the scale easy to check my axle weights. Gross was 73640. Front axle 10120, drives 29080, front trailer axle 14480, back trailer axle 19960. Had 2 – 4×4’s stacked on the back under the beams. I will try to post some pictures of the load in the morning. Ran out of daylight tonight.
How can I get more weight on the tractor drives? Only have about 1 1/2′ to move forward to the bulkhead with the beams. I have a toolbox on the truck frame so not much room to slide the fifth wheel unless I move things around. Just want to get an idea soni can do a better job of loading. Some of the loaders at these mills are always in a hurry, but don’t want to get an overweight ticket.
