After picking up your load try and find the nearest cat scale to avoid driving illegally for more than what you might have to. I strongly recommend sliding your tandems to hole 7 before weighing yourself. 7 is a good sweet spot and a lot of the times youll be within legal weight at 7, though you may have to slide between hole 5 and 9 all depending on the load of course. I’d also recommend buying a tandem stopper if you struggle getting it into the desired hole like I do (I’m also new to OTR in my second month). The tandem stopper saves me A LOT of time and I can get it in the right hole almost immediately using it. Here’s a link to the one I have and I think it’s probably the best one you can buy: https://a.co/d/06xglbqV Also to use the tandem stopper you’re always placing it in front or behind the desired hole you want to click into. So if you’re sliding from 10 to 7, you’ll put it on hole 6, and if you’re sliding from 7 to 10, then you’ll put it on hole 11. Basically, you’re placing the tandem stopper, sliding tandems GENTLY until you hit the stopper, then go ahead and set your pin and gently pull forward or backward so that way you click into the right hole.
