getting my feet wet in heavy haul

The hwy 20 truck stop on the west side of town just had a CAT scale put in; I'm not sure of the setup and configuration. The 16th St truck stop by our shop has the same problem that we have on our scale, a sloped approach/departure making split-weighing inaccurate.

 

with one air supply to all six bags they will even out. here is a 79k monster that had us at 57k on trailer tridem and truck tridem also. rears were even, ole nebraka coop weighed each axle individual!! youll be fine as long as there is not some kinda weird trialer you have. lets see this new triaxle.

 

Well if you have time, swing by and take a look. as long as the exit is level you can do the spilt weigh.
Just kinda tell them in the inside what you need to do.
If you have a problem call CAT scales on their 800 number in Walcott. Tell them the scale you're at and they can take it over in their office and will run the printer at that location

 

Let me explian it a liitle better, pull on the Cat scale. first wigh, then pull up to get the lead axle off the rear platform, Tell them reweigh and then pull the second axle off the platform and do another reweigh
So even if it has a slight pitch it won't affect the rear axles much as the main part of the trk. and trl. will still be on level ground on a full length scale with 3 seperate scales steer drive and trl. sections

 

whats the weight of your tractors cpape.

 

Couple shots heading out of town.

 

John Deere should be buying that pic from you. The machine is really clear and the rest is kind of fuzzy. Looks really cool!
