Weight question from a noobie!

Depending of the load of course, the general rule I've used for years is 275lbs per hole to shift the weight. With highly concentrated weight like 6,000lb paper roll stock you can go up to 700-800 per hole. 275 should get you in the vicinity you need to be. I'm not sure where the driver got his figure from.

 

How are they trying to (####) you?

 

Per what I told you in PM, if you sent in the late delivery macro with the reason, they should have no issues.....if you didn't send it, then they may give you grief and the service failure, but that's survivable...it rolls off after a year, so relax and learn from this little incident to CYA, constantly and that means not doing things illegal either.

Good Luck

 

I hope you were keeping them updated via qualcolm on all delays. Plus having your scale tickets will help protect you as well. Also you may need to remind them about california and what is legal. Don't assume they know this already.

 

Ouch. Did you keep them informed? ("Have to reload to legal the load"; "Shipper reloaded six times to legal the load"; "Finally leaving shipper, scaled and load is legal; now won't have hours to unload today"). They're dinks if they bust you on this--you did the right thing. BOL.

 

What FatDaddy and CAXPT said; they beat me to it!

 

Live and learn. One thing I found out is its never wrong to give them too much info.
