    Here is my headache. Genie boom lift, genie scissor lift, and a bobcat skid loader. I started. The top scale ticket is where I started on my spread, the bottom is where I currently am. The basket started at the middle of the top deck, 5 scale tickets later after chaining and unchaining, I'm just done. Picked up at Ritchie brothers Denver headed to Effingham 20180309_134223.jpg 20180309_134133.jpg 20180309_134143.jpg

    Use to haul that stuff for a living. All the deliveries were around OKC so we didn't scale and it was on a 53' with a folding ramp.

    I would have put the bobcat on the upper deck if you had ramps available, turned the boom lift around and backed it up to the upper deck and put the scissor lift either all the way in the back or beside the boom somewhere. jmo.

    That's kinda what I was thinking too, assuming @Gunner75 has ramps.

    Do they have you carry ramps on you step gunner?

    No we do not have ramps, that's why I loaded it this way. I considered turning the bobcat around and putting the counter weight just behind the lift. When I called in and have them my scale tickets once I got it to where I did on my trailer they told me to roll with it.

    If I ever meet the Landstar planner who built this load, him or her and I are gonna have some words, cause they said it was only 46k and 1 bobcat with 2 other implements. Certainly not what I have here

    Well im sitting here at the Petro in Effingham. 695 miles on the day with 5 minutes left on my clock. Oakley Kansas to Effingham, I was pushing it to get here to. Screenshot_20180310-201157.jpg
    @ChaoSS I never did get a split axle weigh, I should've but it slipped my mind. I did get red lighted to cross the scale on i70 west at Mayview Missouri. Readout showed I was 40060 on my trailer, but was 79200 gross. I figured I would get called around back, but he green lighted me back to i70.

    I think most places would let that slide, since that's within the accuracy deviation for most scales... I suggested the split weigh to make sure that you didn't have a problem with the bags that puts you at 19000/21000 or whatever, but if you haven't had problems yet you should be good to go.

    Your company seems to be more on the ball with the maintenance, but I do run into that problem often enough where I work. I try to get those trailers written up when I see them off when I'm not close to 40,000 since the loads we haul can have us close to 40 on the spreads sometimes and we can't afford to have them be different.
