If you pull anything with sliding tandems you'll be justified to carry a claw hammer next to your seat ( i always did ) to break loose the rusty locking pins that woundn't free themselves without a little help so as to slide those tandems so you will be of legal axle weight.
As far as the threatening characters are concerned, did anyone ever see that movie where the driver was threatened and he put on his seat belt on and ran into something and the lowlifer went flying right through the windshield.....or off the side off the truck for that matter !!

Turn that ignition key on, release you brakes and get the wheels turning.
