Does anyone know, can you fit on a 70 ft scale with a 280 wheel base pete and a 52ft spread axle pot. Looking to buy a new truck. |

depending on where your fifth wheel sits, you may have to wood block your steer tires every time you scale. |

I have been trucking livestock for 40 years. to split weigh any truck on a scale illegal for trade. My opinion is that if buy a truck does not fit a 70 foot scale easly is not much of a livestock hauler | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |
