šØ Trailer swaying at highway speeds? That's not bad luck ā that's a weight distribution problem. In today's Trailer Safety Week video, Shawn loads a tractor onto the trailer and breaks down the 60/40 rule ā the simple principle that keeps your load balanced, your tongue weight right, and your rig tracking straight down the highway. Here's what you need to know: āļø 60% of your load weight should sit forward of the axles āļø 40% sits behind šÆ Tongue weight should be 10ā15% of your total loaded weight Get it wrong and by 40ā50 mph you'll be fighting that trailer the whole way. Get it right and everything rides smooth. ā š„ Video 4 is LIVE ā https://lnkd.in/eTVwsKUf Tag someone who's ever had a trailer push them around on the highway ā they need to see this. #TrailerSafetyWeek #TrailerSafety #TowingSafety #WeightDistribution #TongueWeight #AllAmericanTrailerConnection #AATC
