    Sounded like we got buried in loads this weekend so I volunteered to work tmw...leave for Milwaukee tmw.
    Good part of that is i can almost plan on a Spartan nash right back to Omaha .

    Well after much debate and many many questions asked on here and to Jarrod and Brent at G.O.E I pulled the trigger this morning on it. Orientation is June 7th and I'm ready now. Can't thank the boys on here @bzinger and @The Kraut enough for the insight and answers! I'll keep everyone posted as the date nears!

    California does not honor the 400lb exemption. It will depend on scalemaster. I know you you were full of fuel but if it's like mine 90% of that weight goes on my steers.

    Here is a map of the APU exemptions

    Welcome!

    I know I know ;)
    Scaled again in Las Vegas NV and had 79320 gross, 34080 on the tandems and 33480 on the drives. Had to fuel so I filled up 50 gallons. Was legal when I entered Cali. Got a red light in WY, AZ and CA when I entered the states, no problem at all, Utah was closed early in the morning.
    Not sure if it was 30/70 or 40/60, most of the fuel weight at my Volvo goes to the drives, I can play a bit with fueling.
    Made my two deliveries this morning on time near L.A. and now loading this evening near Coachella for Iowa.
