Sorry yes I need to raise the limit it's only 1k more lbs but none the less and I'm a company driver but just a single company driver no other drivers exept me
-
How far are you going? Any scales?
-
3 states away ya there's 5 scales on the way my weight is 52500lbs
-
So your 500lbs over gvwt?
-
Full of fuel 500 lbs over my limit
-
Are you're driving for an owner operator?Also can you explain why you want to raise the weight, what is wrong with 52k?Ok think I know what you mean,you're only 500 lbs over I don't think the dot will say anything.Maybe try moving your tandems or fifthwheel.
