You have almost 10,000lbs on your truck's rear axle? That is excessive if I'm reading it correctly.
Looking at scale slips I can’t for the life of me figure how he got those weights!
Front 4,840#
Drive 9,920#
Trailer 4,240#
Total 19,000
Trailer
Drive 3,360# (pin?)
Trailer 7,220#
I think he needs to run the scales again correctly.
The only number on those sheets that looks correct is the 1st Steer axle!
If correctly set
On the scale should be more like
Steer 4,820#
Drive 5,600#
Trailer 8,580#
Trailer specs are
Dry 9,624#
Dry pin 1,792#
GVWR 12,192#
So the correct way to scale
1st trip truck and trailer correctly placed on the three plates.
Second trip truck only sitting on steer and drive plates.
