If I remember correctly, each hole on trailer tandems is approximately 500 lbs., and each hole on a sliding fifth wheel is supposed 250 - 300 lbs. Bear in mind that these are just averages, and can vary by manufacturer.

How do you adjust the weight between each tractor trailer axle?
If you have a sliding fifth wheel, you can transfer weight from the drive axles to the steer axle by sliding it forward, or you can transfer weight from the steer axle to the drive axles by sliding it back.

If you don't have these options, you have to readjust your load.
