Just an update, I made it to the consignee in FL with no issues. Pulled into 3 weigh stations and went through without a problem. Thank you all for your help.
Davy, my DM told me nothing about setting the tandems. I received a Zonar message while on my way to FL saying they had to be no more than 41'. I looked on YouTube to see where 41' was.
Davy and Stevo, yall speaking a different language to me lol. I have no clue what you guys meant..... I need my skateboard back
Consignee:
The customer the freight is being delivered to. Also referred to as "the receiver". The shipper is the customer that is shipping the goods, the consignee is the customer receiving the goods.
Tandems:
Tandem Axles
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
