U dun't kneed to skale cauze you is real smart. Most us stukid drihers need to scale haevy loods. Mi kompany evens pays me back for the scales.
They won't pays for anys overwaits finds and they win't evens gives me a bonuus if I'z gets a lott of CSA points. Go figgure.
If a loads heavy (your opinion), slap it on a scale. Better to have paid a scale than risk a ticket and points.,
This 45,900 pounds load seems to be dogging this truck down, I better move the tandems up 2 holes. HAHAHAHAHA
I'll never see another scale ticket like this...

I use to have my fifth wheel where it was always borderline or just barely over 12k on the steer. I popped it back two notches when I had a front heavy load and haven't had to touch it since. Noticed my average mileage per gallon jumped way up too. where I would average 6.5 or better, now it's 7.1 or higher most of the time no matter where I'm driving.

That's right, that event made me research and ask a lot of drivers on how to master that and I got it down perfectly. Funny when people put a time limit on knowledge... Most people live a normal life, and learn things "on the go". However someone like me who would spend all day reading books, internet, experimenting, asking for advice, would learn the same thing in one week that took someone a couple of years to figure out without strenuous research. All of the guys who went to my trucking school or at my orientation say that they still have trouble backing, ask for help, cannot blindside, etc. whereas I can do any time of backup already yet they went to my same class and still suck. My roommate spent an hour trying to get into one dock and finally gave up and got someone else to do it for him. I was at the same place before him and backed it in which took about 45 seconds. Yeah it was tough but he didn't figure out the angles. So if you placed a time limit on knowledge I shouldn't have been able to know how to do that since I started at the same time as him.

And if the tires are low on air, do you put that into the equation?
TruckerSue and FatDaddy Thank this.
