Female truck driver here. Each tandem hole is 250 pounds each. So if you are 3500 over on the drives, then you have to move your wheels forward 4 holes, so your trailer tires should be closer to your drive tires . I hope this helps you out. Mark the hole thst you want the bolt to go in. T-Mobile is a good internet service for truck drivers. Ask for home internet when or if you go.
Monay, suggestion, practice your straight backing as much as possible. When backing your setup is the most important thing. Preplan your moves. When you drive in, get the big picture. When you start your swing, point your trailer towards your docking point. Once you are lined up put your trailer tandems just inside the drivers side of the yellow line. Every time you preplan your setup, you will get much better docking.😊
Slide tandems forward takes weight off the drives if your drives are still over once your trailer axles are forward load could just simply be to heavy on the trailer nose! Do not get discouraged more experience brings more confidence
It doesn't work that way and I wish people will stop spreading that bs. Getting terminated shows up on your pre employment history. Getting terminated for a safety policy violation puts you in a 2nd chance phase. Most companies won't hire you until you get at least 6 months of safe driving from another company.
You leave a paper Trail, that can not be erased, so, don't care? Your shite still on record or paper...! Meaning, every job that you quit, the next hiring manager will see this, knowing that you don't stay at a job long for some reason! Plus in addition, your DAC report.
The tractor will have its weight stated on the registration. Like, example , "19,700lbs" (this is the dry weight of the tractor without any fuel in the tanks). Automatically add the weight of 50 gallons to that dry weight. A gallon of diesel is approximately 8 pounds. 50 gallons x 8lbs per gallon is 400 pounds. 19,700lbs + 400lbs = 21,000lbs. Now add your body weight and your belongings, food, water, DOT equipment, chains, etc, etc, you have onboard. Example: 450lbs. 21,000lbs + 450lbs = 21,550lbs. Round this weight off to 22,000lbs. Your tractor is likely a standard *80,000* GVWR tractor. *80,000* - 22,000lbs = 58,000 Now the weight of your unloaded trailer and it's cargo, combined added together must not exceed 58,000lbs. Now subtract the weight of your unloaded empty trailer. Example: 8,000lbs. 58,000lbs - 8,000lbs = 50,000lbs Now you know how much weight the shipper must not exceed when loading your trailer with cargo (freight). This is how much weight you can legally transport, loaded inside the trailer. To remain sure you'll never be overweight, always subtract a thousand pounds from the example. So for 50,000 pounds as your exact calculated weight for limit of freight going into the trailer, always set it as 49,000lbs. (To make up for the weight of the pallets, wrapping, etc). When you get loaded at the shipper, always double check with them that they must not load more than 49,000 lbs into the trailer, *including* the weight of all the pallets. Go in and have then show you what they're loading in, and confirm with them that they're not exceeding 49,000 pounds, total, including the weight of the pallets. View the forklift operator as they load the freight in. Ask how much the freight on the pallets weigh. Have them verify the total weight that went aboard with the paperwork and documents. Check it. Always get yourself paid for all fueling stops. Keep a diary journal log as to what you do through the 11/3 HOS clock. (Where your stops were, what you did, your two DOT Road check/Tire check 15-minute stops, fuel stops, and whatever happened). A large notebook with a heavy duty cover is handy. A good general tactic over the road 14(11-3)/10 is like this: ("14/10") On duty Not driving 15 min. walk around PreTrip. On duty Not driving 15 min. Electronic logging, & incidental preparations. 3hr 45 minute On duty Driving. On duty not Driving 15 min (1st of 2) DOT Road check/Tire check. Use bathroom. 3hr 45min On duty Driving. On duty not Driving 15 min (2nd of 2) DOT Road check/Tire check. Use bathroom. Total On Duty (so far) = 8 hours Last movement - On Duty Driving 2hrs 30 min Total so far = 11 hours Last closing movement: 2 hours 30 min Getting to, reaching, finding, backing, to your 10-Hour Stop to include time to *refuel* , Walk around 15 min allotted PostTrip, and close out your electronic logging. (You have only 30 minutes of margin of play before touching 14 hours, 0 minutes HOS maximum). Now you're ready for your 10-Hour Stop. Get at least, minimally 7 hours and 45 minutes of complete sleep. Get as many 8 hour sleeps in as possible. My advice? Stay out of Truck Stops. Use Rest Stops for 10-Hour Stops. Never agree to, and always only do, *Four* 14/10s in a 70 hour HOS week. NOT five. If you're really out on the road OTR, during your 36hour Reset, locate a NICE Hotel (4 or 5-star) and LUXURIATE for TWO nights. It's IMPORTANT! Do your laundry in luxury, too! Take a tub bath AND showers!! RELAX in COMFORT. Watch a couple of movies on the big flat screen. LOUNGE!! Call your family in total relaxation! Spend the money on this! You DESERVE it! Eat healthy good foods!! Get a 12Volt cooler refrigerator for inside your tractor on the road! Don't settle for ramen and stuff like that. Eat GOOD. (Avocadoes, etc.....)

Hey,just want to say don't give up on that trucking.goid thing is u get more knowledge from friends and colleagues.been reading comments from the other guys,am sure that really helped.keep pushing forward in the game and u will be ok..I've driven trucks 11 years in Africa but since moving to UK it wasn't all roses and wanted to give up also but getting the hang of it will make u love it..keep ur head in there and u will tell the world,trust me.
I drive as well N I have the T-Mobile 5g home N I'm a OTR driver N I have no problems in or around mountains works well .BTW I love your vlogs keep up the good work N from what I'm seen you doing great on your truck 💯💪🏾
Each hole is 250 just look at how much the load is… Get paper and calculator then add 250 + 250 + 250 etc. keep going until you come up to or close to that weight of load and count how many 250’s you wrote on the paper and that’s the. Hole you need.. thats one way. Or iust divide weight by 250 But one always put your pins in the 4th , 5th or 6th or 8th hole at the beginning.. Count holes from front to back , I always started my pins in 4th or 6th hole first when it came to really Heavy loads. Then it would make it easier to determine where the weight needed to be shifted to… So if let’s say your weight is heavier in the middle…. Subtract on paper 250, 250, 250, until you get the desired weight you need for that tandem… remember steer should be 12000, back should be 34000, and 34000 all that adds up to 80,000. So just subtract 250 a bunch of times from the tandem thats over weight until you get under 34,000 if it’s the back tandems.
You might have been going down a hill at 70 mph that’s probably wha they were talking about. I started out with Pam 7 years ago, I only stayed for 9 months. Now I do heavy haul and step deck.
Each hole that you move your tandems will add/subtract 500 pounds. Depending on which way you slide your tandems will dictate which axle the weight will be added or subtracted to.
You just hang in there with Pam and get your one year of experience and remember to try and interview and get hired with better miles and cents per mile like .60 cents or better and try to get benefits and more local to regional runs !! God will bless you girl just be patient,careful and respectful and you will be a success!! I’m retired now and ask me questions if you need to I drove for 9 years
The distance between the locking pin holes on the trailer will be the major factor affecting how much weight is moved per hole. This distance varies between the different trailer manufacturers, and the larger the distance between the holes, the more weight will be shifted with each hole. The two main hole spacings you'll find are 4 inches and 6 inches. You can estimate that you will move 250 pounds per hole for 4-inch spacing, and 400 pounds per hole for 6-inch spacing. This will help you estimate how many holes you'll have to slide the trailer tandems to move the proper amount of weight necessary in order to get the axle weights legal. You didn't show the scale ticket which would have been helpful, but assuming each hole in the tandem slider rail moves 250 pounds, you would have to slide your trailer tandems toward the front of the truck a minimum of 7 holes to transfer enough weight from your trailer tandems to your drive axles in order to get your axle weights legal. You also said that you were over on everything which could mean that the load may need to be reworked, or they have to take some weight off of it, but without seeing your scale ticket there's no way to know. Additionally, don't feel bad if you have to go back to the shipper to have them lower the weight on any load because you are ultimately responsible when you head down the road. You're doing fine, bad days don't last long.
My daughter says the 9th hole should be in the middle of the two tandem tires and it's every 2000 each hole is a 2000 she said always keep your tent hole between the tires if it's really heavy I called her and sent her the video and she's following you and watching your videos and will be commenting her name is Lisa 23
A governor on the truck makes it to where you cannot speed. It won’t let you go too fast so once they fix the governor on your truck, it will be impossible for you to speed. That’s how it originally should’ve been set up.
Pam only pays for three times on the scale so it wouldn't matter if you went to a TA. Loves pallet that is paid for three times. I work for Pam for 6 years and as far as the speeding use your jake brake. When you going down the hill just load up the gas pedal and let the jake brake kick in. Be safe
Here’s a easier way to slide your tandems. Before you scale slide your all the way back. Get on the scale and weigh . All the weight should be on your drives. Reweigh load and adjust tandems forward. Take the drive weight and subtract it from the tandems. So if your drive weight is 35400 and tandems are 32600. That’s 2800 difference. Then you divide 2800 into 2. Which will be 1400. Then you should move your tandems up about 8 to 10 holes . Then reweigh. When you first start out and don’t know where to slide tandems. Slide them all the way back . Then adjust from there.
I slide them forward all the way and then go back from there. I do it this way because you ideally want your tandems to be as far up as legally possible because your tandems being back can lead to you not being able to make turns. If you ever been on those small one lane farm roads, you need a bunch of space to turn
Each hole represents 250 pounds so if you’re 3500 pounds over on your drives. You should devide 250 into 3500 which is 14 holes. You always move your tandems in the direction of the overweight citation. You need slide your tandems towards your drives 14 250 pound holes
Monay my name is Isaac and this is my first time watching your content. My brother lives not too far from North Jackson. I love shopping at Meijers when I’m up north because of their delicious sushi platters. You were making a brother hungry with you showing all those platters. I’m glad you didn’t get fired by Pam. That’s where I first started December 10, 2020. I got let go because I got into it with safety down in Laredo. I then went on to western express in Nashville for nine months before moving on to the company im with now, which is Bulmaks inc out of Chicago. January 8, 2025 will be three years for me there and they have been very good to me. I pray the same for you that you find a good company for you. God bless you and continue success
If you see gladhand locks like that on your assigned trailer, ALWAYS take pictures of it with your phone. You need to keep your Documentation of PROOF that things happen. Take PICTURES.
Just deliver on time every time? Cause you got years of dealing with dispatchers and planner's? They make or break your revenue gains! Till you get your (owned) truck, trailer, authority and insurance, do your on point service, even after becoming fully owned, 100%?
it is not possible to go seventy when your truck is governed at sixtyfive, unless you pick up momentum going down a hill, but that is only a few moments and it is out of your control.
All these companies that hire new drivers take advantage. Keep it simple, get your 6 months and apply to an adult trucking company, that’s what I’m doing. A 64 mph speed limit is a complete joke, keep your focus, then keep it moving.
You could have set up for a straight line back you mean easier for yourself if you would’ve got out and looked and see what your options were ,but you never did
Girl, its good you kept your job I got fired from punk a** SWIFT cause it was taking me to long to learn the zonar(on board computer). I'll tell yall about it if you want to know how it went down. But I did get this trifelling truck job in state bad pay, terrible hours But home every night 🌙.
Start looking for another job and also make sure they pay you right then & there if they let you go and make sure they dont put anything on ur driving record
Nah don't allow them the opportunity to fire you. You have to quit before that. Terminations show up on your report. It's literally nothing you can tell a future employers for why you are terminated. It's a million things you can tell them for why you quit
Hello just take your time like I told you before my daughter is a female truck driver she said always put it in the 8th or 9th hole and you will be okay
Sounds like a bad annoying ass day And for weight on tandems usually if you back up that will shift weight. If your steers are still overweight you might have to shift your fifth-wheel platform And typically shift of tandems takeoff takes off 250 pounds per hole
No need to be scared if they wanna fire u can use tht cdl else where no problem longs u got 6 months otr, an u can pay them when ever u want thts wht i did 3 years ago aint paid no money back gotta keep trucking they gon find it one day😂😂😂😂😂
It can, down a steep grade. With a loaded trailer pushing the tractor. No accelerator pedal depressed. "Coasting" down long steep grades with a loaded trailer. It happens driving your mountain passes, especially so. Be careful.

If u know u r getting fired for speeding u should get a new job before being fired. Because once you are fired for speeding if it was 10mph or over it will be very hard to find a mew job if they put it on your dac report.

The tractor will have its weight stated on the registration.
Like, example , "19,700lbs" (this is the dry weight of the tractor without any fuel in the tanks).
Automatically add the weight of 50 gallons to that dry weight.
A gallon of diesel is approximately 8 pounds. 50 gallons x 8lbs per gallon is 400 pounds.
19,700lbs + 400lbs = 21,000lbs.
Now add your body weight and your belongings, food, water, DOT equipment, chains, etc, etc, you have onboard.
Example: 450lbs.
21,000lbs + 450lbs = 21,550lbs.
Round this weight off to 22,000lbs.
Your tractor is likely a standard *80,000* GVWR tractor.
*80,000* - 22,000lbs = 58,000
Now the weight of your unloaded trailer and it's cargo, combined added together must not exceed 58,000lbs.
Now subtract the weight of your unloaded empty trailer.
Example: 8,000lbs.
58,000lbs - 8,000lbs = 50,000lbs
Now you know how much weight the shipper must not exceed when loading your trailer with cargo (freight).
This is how much weight you can legally transport, loaded inside the trailer.
To remain sure you'll never be overweight, always subtract a thousand pounds from the example.
So for 50,000 pounds as your exact calculated weight for limit of freight going into the trailer, always set it as 49,000lbs.
(To make up for the weight of the pallets, wrapping, etc).
When you get loaded at the shipper, always double check with them that they must not load more than 49,000 lbs into the trailer, *including* the weight of all the pallets.
Go in and have then show you what they're loading in, and confirm with them that they're not exceeding 49,000 pounds, total, including the weight of the pallets. View the forklift operator as they load the freight in. Ask how much the freight on the pallets weigh. Have them verify the total weight that went aboard with the paperwork and documents. Check it.
Always get yourself paid for all fueling stops.
Keep a diary journal log as to what you do through the 11/3 HOS clock. (Where your stops were, what you did, your two DOT Road check/Tire check 15-minute stops, fuel stops, and whatever happened). A large notebook with a heavy duty cover is handy.
A good general tactic over the road 14(11-3)/10 is like this:
("14/10")
On duty Not driving 15 min. walk around PreTrip.
On duty Not driving 15 min. Electronic logging, & incidental preparations.

Use bathroom.
3hr 45min On duty Driving.
On duty not Driving 15 min

Total On Duty (so far) = 8 hours
Last movement - On Duty Driving
2hrs 30 min
Total so far = 11 hours
Last closing movement:
2 hours 30 min
Getting to, reaching, finding, backing, to your 10-Hour Stop
to include time to *refuel* ,
Walk around 15 min allotted PostTrip, and close out your electronic logging.
(You have only 30 minutes of margin of play before touching 14 hours, 0 minutes HOS maximum).
Now you're ready for your 10-Hour Stop. Get at least, minimally 7 hours and 45 minutes of complete sleep. Get as many 8 hour sleeps in as possible.
My advice?
Stay out of Truck Stops.
Use Rest Stops for 10-Hour Stops.
Never agree to, and always only do,
*Four* 14/10s in a 70 hour HOS week.
NOT five.

So if let’s say your weight is heavier in the middle…. Subtract on paper 250, 250, 250, until you get the desired weight you need for that tandem… remember steer should be 12000, back should be 34000, and 34000 all that adds up to 80,000.
So just subtract 250 a bunch of times from the tandem thats over weight until you get under 34,000 if it’s the back tandems.

ELD trucks are literally drivers under surveillance. How can one drive and be focused when you are worried about a call. It’s a simple setup.
Here’s a easier way to slide your tandems. Before you scale slide your all the way back. Get on the scale and weigh . All the weight should be on your drives. Reweigh load and adjust tandems forward. Take the drive weight and subtract it from the tandems. So if your drive weight is 35400 and tandems are 32600. That’s 2800 difference. Then you divide 2800 into 2. Which will be 1400. Then you should move your tandems up about 8 to 10 holes . Then reweigh. When you first start out and don’t know where to slide tandems. Slide them all the way back . Then adjust from there.
I used to do the opposite. I used to slide mines all the way to the front. But everyone has their own way of doing things
I slide them forward all the way and then go back from there. I do it this way because you ideally want your tandems to be as far up as legally possible because your tandems being back can lead to you not being able to make turns. If you ever been on those small one lane farm roads, you need a bunch of space to turn
This is horrible advice
Each hole represents 250 pounds so if you’re 3500 pounds over on your drives. You should devide 250 into 3500 which is 14 holes. You always move your tandems in the direction of the overweight citation. You need slide your tandems towards your drives 14 250 pound holes
Pretty awesome miles. Go figure PAM has had multiple class a lawsuits for unfair paid wages from few yrs ago
Just get in the truck already it’s dark out there baby girl stay looking 👀 around 🙅🏽♂️
500 lbs per notch on your 5th wheel, 250lbs per notch on trailer tandems
Monay my name is Isaac and this is my first time watching your content. My brother lives not too far from North Jackson. I love shopping at Meijers when I’m up north because of their delicious sushi platters. You were making a brother hungry with you showing all those platters. I’m glad you didn’t get fired by Pam. That’s where I first started December 10, 2020. I got let go because I got into it with safety down in Laredo. I then went on to western express in Nashville for nine months before moving on to the company im with now, which is Bulmaks inc out of Chicago. January 8, 2025 will be three years for me there and they have been very good to me. I pray the same for you that you find a good company for you. God bless you and continue success
If you see gladhand locks like that on your assigned trailer, ALWAYS take pictures of it with your phone.
You need to keep your Documentation of PROOF that things happen.
Take PICTURES.
Thank you this was really helpful 🙏🏽
Got to use that cruise control
Hope all is well
Haven’t seen a video in a minute
Thanks, yes everything is good ok…
Missed you good to see you , you got it don’t worry
If both your axles are over but your gross is under then you need to slid your fifth wheel
If they fired you they broke the contract agreement
Be safe out there.........
What's up lady, for your tandems , it's 250 pds a hole. What I do is count from the first hole. Usually for 38,000 pd load, I put it in the 8th hole.
55 stay alive!
Just deliver on time every time? Cause you got years of dealing with dispatchers and planner's? They make or break your revenue gains! Till you get your (owned) truck, trailer, authority and insurance, do your on point service, even after becoming fully owned, 100%?
Each is 250 lbs if you are heavy on the drives back up heavy on the tandem go foward
Wazzup GORGEOUS Dr😅
it is not possible to go seventy when your truck is governed at sixtyfive, unless you pick up momentum going down a hill, but that is only a few moments and it is out of your control.
Well... I guess imma hit the subscribe button
Thank you
All these companies that hire new drivers take advantage. Keep it simple, get your 6 months and apply to an adult trucking company, that’s what I’m doing. A 64 mph speed limit is a complete joke, keep your focus, then keep it moving.
Thanks you I only need one more month and then I will be at my six month mark
Arkansas dgaf about us minorities. Some companies have wanted me to come back but after treating me like shit
I use T-Mobile on my truck
Some advice regroup check your Dac report know your worth'' you get another job in no time
They do that so you don't get bonuses.
You could have set up for a straight line back you mean easier for yourself if you would’ve got out and looked and see what your options were ,but you never did
Fuck pam they tried me
wow! 8 mph & u'r done! geez! 80 ton @ 65mph?? 8mph allowance! amazing!
yup! Pray'n 4U! adolescent trucking company! & this costs U! good luck!
1:14:00 u’ll be ok Baby girl! Keep ya head up! I got faith in ya! 😉😉😉
Girl, its good you kept your job
I got fired from punk a** SWIFT cause it was taking me to long to learn the zonar(on board computer).
I'll tell yall about it if you want to know how it went down.
But I did get this trifelling truck job in state bad pay, terrible hours
But home every night 🌙.
Sorry about that and yeah I’m still hanging in here that’s not if Pam doesn’t lay me off 😩
Hoping you are ok !,!!
Yes for now 🙏🏽
How can they say you’re speeding if they trucks are governed
Going down hill it speedup duh she let it cost instead of slowing down
Prime Inc is hiring if they don't treat you propper
Thanks I’m waiting on them to hire me
Start looking for another job and also make sure they pay you right then & there if they let you go and make sure they dont put anything on ur driving record
Nah don't allow them the opportunity to fire you. You have to quit before that. Terminations show up on your report. It's literally nothing you can tell a future employers for why you are terminated. It's a million things you can tell them for why you quit
Hello just take your time like I told you before my daughter is a female truck driver she said always put it in the 8th or 9th hole and you will be okay
Facts!!!! Every time i put it in the eighth or ninth my drives and tandems be nearly identical in weight.
Sounds like a bad annoying ass day
And for weight on tandems usually if you back up that will shift weight.
If your steers are still overweight you might have to shift your fifth-wheel platform
And typically shift of tandems takeoff takes off 250 pounds per hole
The only reason im staying is to pay off my debt as well....
Get the debt payed then go 💨
@@MONAYSULLIVAN yes i am, ill be gone really quick from here
What is the option for having a passenger?.
Love ur laugh.. I think u will be ok
Please don't chance it.. one u get use to tandems it's going to be a breeze
You just scraped all the grease of your fifth wheel. Trl needs to be raised then lowered on to the 5th wheel.
monay bout fine af got damn
No need to be scared if they wanna fire u can use tht cdl else where no problem longs u got 6 months otr, an u can pay them when ever u want thts wht i did 3 years ago aint paid no money back gotta keep trucking they gon find it one day😂😂😂😂😂
GO TO A REAL COMPANY. Pam is a fake mega carrier. Not a real trucking company.
what's the point of "CDL protector" services if you still get fired anyway!!??
The problem you're having with getting your weight right you should have learned before you left your trainer.
If you going down a hill with a heavy load you speed will increase so you can't do nothing bout that.
GOOD LUCK!!❤
If you need another job let me know
No no. Protect yourself. Be prepared ok. No no suggestion opportunity s
Another company will hire you. You have a CDL.

Get some one to help you
How can u do 70 if the truck is governed at 64 😅
It can, down a steep grade.
With a loaded trailer pushing the tractor.
No accelerator pedal depressed.
"Coasting" down long steep grades with a loaded trailer.
It happens driving your mountain passes, especially so.
Be careful.
Because gravity pulls that’s all but Pam don’t care about none of that 🥶
would putting it on cruise control help ?
❤❤❤❤
Don't speed at your next job if you got fired.
Never work for a company that has been sued.
Dude at your age you should be driving and sleeping that’s it. So you don’t have to work in your 50s
I wish maybe one day 🙌🏽
So they didn’t fire you.?
If the govenor was not set higher than the speed they want turn it down so the driver won't have to worry about speeding
Just because you are governed at 55mph doesn't mean your truck isn't affected my gravity. She got her speeding from going down hill

Hi sis are they hiring do you have to be a owner operator
Doin a video about this Sunday
@@MONAYSULLIVAN ok because I’m about to apply
If u know u r getting fired for speeding u should get a new job before being fired. Because once you are fired for speeding if it was 10mph or over it will be very hard to find a mew job if they put it on your dac report.
Best to not get fired. Companies still want to know why you were fired
