Default ER 170 weight restrict ord-slc?

Trying to jump/ passride with family ord to slc tomorrow. While there are a couple seats open, anyone know if that route is often weight restricted? It is a Shuttle America E-170.
Thanks.

Ya what a head ache, tried to NRSA to CLE via ORD the other day and it had 5 seats open, but found out at gate they blocked off 8 seats =(, wasnt planning on that ORD-IAD-CLE part of my trip, kinda sucked after going SMF-ORD

I was waiting for bags to arrive in CYUL for ~3 days from KORD. When I eventually got it, the baggage tag was taped over 4 or so times of each individual flight the bag was to go out on and canceled due to weight.

Usually the crew can remove, or at least lower the number of blocked seats. The restrictions are accompanied with a bag restriction which is typically in the 70s or 80s. Usual bag numbers are around 20 - 30. Add a few kids to the mix and the 170 can go full with a jumpseater. In my experience anyway.
