I never had a truck with one before so I'm not sure what it is reading.

If anyone can fill me in on this I would appreciate it......thanks

The best way to figure that gauge out is to put your trailer tamdens where you want then ,then scale truck look at load gauge and write it down .Like on my truck 60pounds on gauge means my drives axles should be ok for weight. What the gauge is showing is air pressure on air ride on tractor. You could go somewhere flat slide trailer tamdens and see what gauge reads at different spots. Idid the scale way then you know .It's just help mate if not sure scale it . Hope it helps.

Every one I have seen is different. If you pull the same trailer everytime then you can make note of what the gauge is reading everytime you scale, however if you are constantly swapping trailers I would not rely on it.

I've never had a trailer with a load gauge, but I really miss the tractor axle gauge that was in my last truck.

Thats how you do it, scale at the truck stop, see your axle weights, and compare to the psi showing on the guage. mine is 60 on the tractor and 80 on the trailer. Or, ask your company, they may know what readings you should look for on that truck

However you need to realease the brakes, and or/move some to get a good reading. and you must have full air pressure as well. Some of the more expensive ones, give you actual numbers, the others show a pressure, and are not dead on everytime, but are good to get a rough idea
