Drive Axles 36,000 lbs.
Minus Tandems 32,800 lbs.
-----------------
3,200 lbs. (Difference)


Divide the difference by 2 (2 axles, Drives and Steers)

3,200 lbs. / 2 = 1,600 lbs. proportioning weight

Now take the proportioning weight and divide by 250 ( this is the # of lbs. per hole)

1,600 lbs. / 250 = 6.4 holes

In this case, your drive axles have too much weight, therefore they are the problem. So to properly proportion your load, you will always SLIDE TOWARDS the problem.

So you will slide your tandems FORWARD 7 holes (since we cant technically slide 6.4 holes).

What is the max weight that can be legally loaded on trailer?

All trailers have a weight limit that is stamped on the trailer somewhere. Normally it is stamped on the trailer tongue or on a data plate attached to the tongue or trailer frame. You can also determine the weight the trailer can handle by the diameter of the axle. Find your measurement in the following table of typical axle diameters: 1.5-inch diameter, 1,000 pounds 1.75-inch diameter, 2,000 pounds 2.375-inch diameter, 3,500 pounds 3-inch diameter, 6,000 pounds 3.5-inch diameter, 8,000 pounds 4-inch diameter, 9,000 pounds 5-inch diameter, 10,000 pounds Multiply the axle capacity by the number of axles to get the maximum load capacity for your utility trailer. Remember that no matter the capacity of the trailer you must have the correct trailer hitch in order to safely pull the trailer.

Can a truck be repossessed with a trailer hooked to it?

Only if the repossessor has an order for repossession of the trailer, as well. And even then, only under certain circumstances. If it's a commercial tractor trailer, and there's a load in that trailer, they may not take it, as the order of repossession does not cover the load, and they will face criminal charges if they do such.In the course of repossessing a vehicle, the repossession agency may not enter or move any vehicle (including a trailer) which is not in their order for repossession. They may detach a trailer from a truck being repossessed, but they can't actually take it.
