    The Budweiser load got cancelled, so they gave me a load from Greeley to Conyers.

    On the way to Greeley Robin called and asked me to go back to Aurora and take another MT up there.
    I did but not sure If I would do it again. Greeley is a shthole.
    Truck looks like ### and . I have to clean my floor and mat too now.

    Of course the load wasn't ready either.

    Hey guys, getting ready to join yall over at FRE. Heading out Sunday to orientation in New Albany, MS. Only thing I'm worried about at all is the interview process. Can any of you shed a little light on that for me? Thanks.

    Can't get the weight legal.
    Imagine that and it's only 41157.
    Of course it's on Trailer 98.

    I do think the Scale at the Truckstop might be messed up.

    if the trl is a extra lease then it can be up to 18k on empty weight. Also the shipper could have lied or us way off on the weight on the BOL's.
     
    Balakov100 Thanks this.

    It is just a way they go about getting to know you. All they do is talk about you or have you talk about you. Nothing to worry about just be truthful and be yourself.

    Thanks Daniel. I really appreciate it. I've read through the entire forum, so I pretty much know what to expect aside from that.

    Yeah. I think it's a Combination of Heavy Trailer some snow on Roof their Weights being off and messed up Cat Scale.

    My first Weigh was 80020. Got up to 200 lbs difference on some of the re weighs.

    How much fuel is in your truck? Is it a multiple stop load? Sometimes they load it heavy on one axle because the first drop has heavier product on the tail. If you are not going to hit a scale might be safe to drive to another scale that doesn't have all the snow on and plus the snow on the roof could be blown off. Some scale houses give you leeway if it has snowed. You probably have a bunch of snow junk under your tractor and under the trailer that is also causing the problem.
