DRIVERS....

I need help, I'm learning a little from different drivers about tandems and which holes are what. Like some are 250, others are 500 yada yada...

My job is to process the bill of laiding, verify your pick up number matches the load in your trailer and seal "your" truck or if I'm on the inbound give you information on where to drop your load or mty or give you your trailer number for your load and where it might be and that I need 2 scale tkts. Not know state by state bridge law and where your tandems can be so you won't get a tkt.


However, we have been coming across A LOT OF DRIVERS, who don't understand BRIDGE LAW. I always tell them to adjust their tandems for California Bridge Law. I recently took a picture with my phone, of what tandem hole you should be in if your holes are 250 or 500 and it had several states listed. However of course today I must cross the bridge of what is NY bridge law. New York was not on my lil guide. And of course I'm dealing with a "steering wheel holder" who doesn't go out side of Virginia and keeps telling me it can't weigh over 34,000lbs. I said I know I told you that when you came in to the inbound gate to make sure you don't drive to the outbound gate with an over weight scale tkt. He still did! I asked him how far back was his tandems, he said I don't know I can still slide them. I said okay, the trailer is going to New York, and you are in the 19th hole is that legal for New York. His response was I DON'T KNOW!!! Needless to say put the trailer back in the door and left because he needed sleep.



If you can break it down for me as if you were teaching a kindergarten class and maybe even some links so I can help these drivers out.


THANKS!!!!

In the front of your Rand Mcnally atlas is a bridge law chart. Some companies mark their trailers with the proper location for the different states.
