    What do you mean by the weight hurting you at certain customers? Thanks for answering all these questions btw

    The heavier your equipment(truck trailer what have you) will limit the amount of weight they can load you with. I would surmise that if it's hurting them, the customers might be cancelling loads if they can't carry all the weight. Gotta watch that though, some companies will load you anyway and you'll be heavy as all Hades or overweight. Being overweight happened a couple times when I was with Maverick anyway. Getting the shipper to take off weight was a PITA as well.

    Glad they didn't cancel on you! They always acted like you wanted their firstborn child when I asked them to take weight off lol
