Getting your load legal

[nitestar]

This works best on a flat bed but the theory can be applied to a van.

Some times one has to move the piece to get legal. When sliding the tandems is not an option.

This is for a single pc.

Know the wgt of the pc. Say it is 10,000 lbs.
You need to move 2,000 lbs
Measure the length of the pc. say it is 10 feet long.
You have 1,000 lbs per foot of material on the trailer.
Meaning you have to move it 2 feet.
Works on more than one pc, but it is a bit more challenging.

Hope this helps someone.

You can always slide your tandems or your 5th wheel unless you have a spread axle. Then it doesn't matter as long as your at or under 80k.

Moving a single piece or pallet around in your trailer is tricky at best. Load securement is a problem. Use straps if you do and not the cheap azz load locks.
