    Was not sure if you had room to fit them. It would help, plus they are a lot easier to find.

    looks like you may have something going on. That’s a big difference. A few hundred pounds would be normal, that’s a bit much.

    CAT scales can do a split weight. When you call in, tell them it needs to be a split weighing. They have buttons on the main screen that they press, it will walk them right through the process. If they don’t know what to do, have them call CAT. They have a priority number. An FYI, they will not back that scale ticket when you do that. Don’t ask me how I know.

    That's pretty good. 48.3 load and only scale at 77,700#. I can only load 47,500 on my step. I only carry 8 sticks, 20 straps, 12 chains and binders.

    I lied to you. I see we have a bunch of tri axle steps with center axle and rear axle lifts.

    Just bought a 53 step today, Fontaine. Combo.

    Looks like I'm a cool kid now.

    About 11.5k I have a lightweight spec Pete, so I should be fine. It has 6 ramps so I could always leave two home to save weight ;)
