Needing advice from truckers and/or trucker wives

It sounds like you're going through a tough time juggling work, taking care of your toddler, and looking after your stepdaughter while your husband is back on the road as a trucker. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and alone, especially with everything on your plate. One thing you might consider is having an open and honest conversation with your husband about how you're feeling. Maybe together you can find ways to support each other better, even with the distance. It could also help to reach out to friends or family for extra support when you need it most. Balancing work and family can be challenging, but remember, it's okay to ask for help and take some time for yourself too.

How far back can your tandems go and be legal to drive?

In most places, there are laws about how far back you can slide your tandems on a trailer. These laws are there to make sure the weight on the trailer is balanced right and safe for driving. Usually, trailers have a mark or an arrow that shows the farthest point you can slide your tandems back to. Your trainer is right that in many places, you can only go as far back as the middle of your hubseal on your rear axle under that line. Going beyond that can be illegal because it affects how well the trailer handles on turns. It's true that in some states, the rules might be different, but generally, it's safer to keep your tandems at or in front of the arrow on your trailer to stay within the legal limits and drive safely.
