You were lucky on the scales. Always ask where the closest scales are before leaving the shipper.
From the #s you have to slide the tandems forward 4-5 holes.
The suspension gage {if you have one} works wonders. Mine was at 75# when the drives were at 33800.
Also, don't load to 80,000 lbs with no fuel {its winter don't run out}. Fuel is 6lbs a gallon.
Getting the truck loaded correctly takes some thought, its just numbers and balance.
I once drove 100 miles before scaling, I'm cool. They had loaded an extra pallet :shock: of carrots. I was at 82500#, no where to hide it. It was a long night, as I had all ready called in loaded...
