I have a freightliner M2112, 96" Alumi-Bunk sleeper. My problem is I am close to or overweight when empty. When we got the fine for the overweight I was only carrying 200lbs and it was loaded almost at the back of the truck, behind the rear axles. I know where my axles are and load my freight...

I have a lift axle, we are always legal when it is down. There have been times that we are over without it. I guess the only way to be sure is always run with the lift axle down.
