Trailer axle overweight--Going to CA

Notice I didn't say they didn't have the ability to measure speed, they can, just not with the weight in motion scale.

I'm well aware of what WA has at their fingertips, and that doesn't include break heat sensors (yeah, I'm talking to YOU Montana...).

As you say they have a pretty good idea of wheel separation, which WA needs to calc bridge formula. CA may have a similar system (probably does) what is the precision...... and are they going to let their coffee get cold to measure a truck that looks right?

 

I've been over the scales in California too many times to count at 40'-6". The only time they made me roll around and stop on the static scale for measuring was at Cottonwood. The dumbarse came out with another guy and started measuring when he realized I was pulling a 48' trailer. The look on his face was classic LOL

 

JC1971, what's the load? Small enough that you can shift some forwards?? Just gotta get an okie-doke from dispatch to break the seal.

 

Might be worth a shot to get going forward and hit the brakes hard. Depending on what you're hauling though, but you did pick it up already sealed from ####### McGee so just blame the damages on him. Maybe he'll learn to start giving a #### about the other drivers that have to deal with his mess.

While we're telling overweight stories in Cali...I got stopped at San Bernardino and was around 1,500 over on the trailer(produce loaded to the doors). They let me rework it and reweigh 2 times all without a citation or overweight notation on the inspection report. I had to move 1.5 pallets forward(restacked) and was paid for my time by my company. I also did the trick that someone was talking about earlier about holding the tape and inching closer as they get further away. Bought a few inches that way(lol) but probably didn't matter since the bridge was good anyway.

Also, funny thing about the scale. I was inside waiting for them to print everything out and noticed a bullet hole in the tinted glass. I asked what happened and the guy says "they don't like us here". Hmmm

 

So how did this end up? Been about 4 days, hopefully he's not still sitting in AZ

 

Hope it's not cases of bottled water. Guy parked next to me at a grocery warehouse had to go in and talk to the receiving manager because the cases he was hauling had tipped/tilted and the warehouse guys couldn't forklift them out. No such worry with that scented kitty litter. :>)
Bonus, that stuff kept me from getting blown over in Wyoming.

"The word it’s is always short for ‘it is’ (as in it's raining), or in informal speech, for ‘it has’ (as in it's got six legs).

The word its means ‘belonging to it’ (as in hold its head still while I jump on its back). It is a possessive pronoun like his."

 

I guess you'll find out soon enough at the next POE

 

You are too heavy. You will be overlength trying to get 34000 (Bridge law)

It's going to be a ticket. I would not worry about OOS unless you have something outrageous going on.

If you don't have a sealed trailer get in there and move 700 pound forward. Or go back to shipper and have him take off a pallet.

 

Bridge law? What are you talking about?
