    Can you still be over 40,000 pounds on a tandem axle if Florida, as long as you aren't over their 41' bridge length law?

    I run Florida quite a lot (against my will) and have never been bothered..

    *Usually* if you're under gross they wont' mess with you, I've come out a number of times over gross and not been bothered either..
