6/21/16 Is the beginning of my Schneider career!!!

The only trailers you can use hole counts for are the TA9xxxxx trailers. Those are all Wabashes, with the same hole size and placement. The 14th hole is the 43 foot mark.

The ta1 series trailers have pins all over the place with no standard on anything. Each model year is just a little off, and we have three different brands - Wabash, Hyundai, and Great Dane. Plus about a dozen Staughtons running around for good measure. Those I just eyeball off the sticker and the center of the rear axle.

Or measure from the nose to the center of the kingpin (usually 3 feet), subtract from 53, then measure up from the dot bumper and you've got the distance between kingpin and center of rear axle. Usually 7 feet.

 

First sentence made me laugh lol. You can't make this stuff up. Yes I'd try to get something for the 5 hours wasted, you chose to do it the SAFE way.. I probably would've just taken the load, depending on where you were going...for example if you were delivering in the buckeye state, you could've made it work.

301 is scenic on the VA half but the further up in MD you get, the more lights you hit. (Think 30 through Indiana.) In lighter traffic times it makes more sense to take 95.

Congrats on popping your east coast cherry

 

It's not just milage pay but stop off as well. Plus layover. Not getting the events updated to reflect those 9 miles can cost him $80

 

But then he'd have to make sure that they don't put the scale in as "non-freight related", correct? I've had that one pulled on me.

They always tried to screw me on layover over in van, also.

 

It's always going to be non freight related. You just get with the ol' dbl and they add the pay manually. In waggle's case he may need to use finger puppets to get the point across.

 

I pulled a random Vanguard trailer last week. The mechanic in Kenton said it was the first one he's seen come through.

 

thats too much work. I'll just use the distance stickers. What can go wrong?




edit to add , yes this is my current trailer. And I will be visiting the obetz trailer shop to see if they will correct it.

 

Wow. I haven't seen that yet but I had one 2 weeks ago that had each sticker set back a few feet. The 43" mark was a foot from the end of the trailer. I thought they started buying orange 48 footers for a second.
