Overweight at the Scale? We'll Rework and Reload It in Chesterfield
Getting flagged overweight at a weigh station on I-95 or I-64 stops a load cold. Under federal interstate limits trucks are generally held to 80,000 lbs gross, 20,000 lbs on a single axle and 34,000 lbs on a tandem. Sometimes sliding the tandems fixes it. When it doesn't, part of the load has to come off - and it needs somewhere safe to go.
Two common problems
- Over gross - the whole truck is too heavy and freight has to come off.
- Over on an axle - the weight is in the wrong place and the load needs to be rebalanced.
