wheres this place?

 

A full day with no ttr. So many things I could complain about! Lol. Instead I'll just go with welcome back everyone.

 

Anybody know the empty weight of a pete 386 with the trailer?

 

They're not all the same. Mine was around 34200, but I know some are heavier. If you ever go to kfnew on the weekend they will give you your mt weight if you ask for it. I know the scale at the main gate (where you enter on weekends) is accurate because I've cross checked it with the cat at loves.

 

I use to know it. Mine is somewhere between 34,300 and 34,600. But since my load out of Springfield is supposedly a definite 44,500 it's important today. I wrote it down where I could keep up with it. Unfortunately it wa a long time ago and I can't even remember if I still have that notebook! Oh well, we'll find out on the catscale.

 

Note to self 44,500 plus 34,600 is only 79,100... Less beer next home time!

 

I was gonna say you're good to 45k, as long as that includes pallets. A lot of places don't include the ton (literally) of pallets they stack the load on. We don't have a truck on the fleet that can hold 46k in a reefer though, so I'm sure you're fine.

 

Well that was kind of crazy. But, really I think they nabbed the hacker too fast...I've been hoping someone would steal my identity.

 

Ive been wondering if itd be worth it to pay the 10 bucks to just scale out mt with a trailer, so you have an idea. I have a Cascadia, I think ive had a tad over 45k on beer once, and I know I was 79,800 with 3/4 tanks of fuel. Which btw, I found out, you must fill up first, out of fuel routing, for them to consider you overweight. I just said screw it, and didnt get fuel, it was only a 500 mile run.

One think I cant get settled is the dang steer weight. Ive tried adjusting the 5th wheel, (I think not its one hole from being all the way towards the drives, and I still get heavy steers some times, but only by about 100 lbs.
