Good Night From II

Smart.

And how hard is it, really, to scale the old fashioned way?
It takes all of 5 minutes to get on the scale and go in to get the ticket.
OK. Maybe 10 minutes.

But if the load timing is so tight that I don't have time to scale the load, there is something wrong in several areas of planning.

 

JB Hunt has an account so you put their pay info in the app when you first sign up. They also have an account with the pilot so you just enter a number at the fuel pump and don’t need a receipt. If all you have to do is scale and fuel you don’t have to go inside. It’s soooooo much better. Can’t tell you how much time I wasted waiting in line for a fricken fuel receipt at the T/A.

 

If by debit card you're referring to Comdata yes you have to put that in so they can get the fee from the company side. I do not use my comdata for any personal business.

 

I was referring to the busier truck stops with no where to park or quickly park after scaling. Some times it's quick and easy and sometimes its not. I do not like to waste any time when the clock is ticking and some loads require you to not waste time. Or some shipper or traffic has wasted my time for me. With the app it is always quick and easy.

Use the app or don't use the app. Makes zero difference to me. I was just trying to help another driver with my initial post.

 

there is a truck stop in fontana ca across from our terminal there at it has a catscale with a drive thru window..
always go there now since t/a and Petro in Ontario 're a pain to get a scale

 

If you’re in a big hurry you can use the cat app to weigh then take a screen shot of the emailed receipt then send in all the paperwork through the Swift app including the scale ticket. That’s what I used to so.

 

jurula terminal.
tried to deliver this load today but final in Redlands ca wasn't having it lol.
so came here for the nite.
have a 1000 appt and will shop up at 9am.
next load picks up in fontana ca and will take that up to beaver ut.
be there later than normal since the late delivery.
the load I am getting from other driver I will tcall here on sunday

 

Trying to deliver early does not always work.

It did (somewhat) for the driver before me at a Costco.
I got there at 1243 and said I am your 1300 delivery. They asked, 1300 or 1500? I said 1300.
They had no empty for me because they got confused with the driver that came in before me, thinking he was the 1300 delivery. That driver got my empty trailer, and so I had a live unload.

I don't jump the line. I get there at my appointment time. Anything else is rude.

That driver had backed up into the corner to park. He was still there after I had been unloaded.
He may still be sitting there.
But me?
I had my next load before they finished unloading me.

Karma wins out yet again.

 

I sure am glad there is people like you willing to take those loads. Cuz it sure as hell aint gonna be me. Nice work !

 

The way u can split it is use the app for a regular weigh , when its complete , the pull ur trailer tires like ur doing a regular split weight and press re weigh. Thats the way to do it on the app. Ur weights on ur axles shouldnt be that far off tho. Make sure they load it correctly in the first place where weight is distributed evenly and ur axles should come out the same or within a couple hundred pounds of eachother. Not sure how much 53ft differ from 48
