Tonight was annoying. Pick up a relay from Mexico. First theres no BOL in the trailer box. Then I look at my suspension. 75psi. Great.
I go to the CAT, I'm 3500 over on the drive axle. I push the tandems as far forward as it'll go, still 3300 over on drives. Gross weight was under, but apparently whoever loaded the trailer put everything up front.
Was there anything else I coulda done? Load was 1600 miles, from Nogales to Rock Island, if I had just said #### it, and run hoping not to get weighed, what is the worst that could have happened?

Chances are pretty low it would all work out that way, but not impossible.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
Cash changing from your pocket to scale master at most every scale that may be open??
FlaSwampRat, blairandgretchen and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
Guess I did the right thing then. Company is trying to find someone to rework the load, and I'm still dispatched, so if they can get it done it wont screw up this week. But the extra time is going to cut into next weeks miles.
Ahh well, just part of the business I guess.Farmerbob1, FlaSwampRat and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
They can figure out where to get it reworked. -
Good deal if they get it ready to go over the weekend but if its not going to be (reworked) Sat. you may need to get a different load if they have one that is?

I would have left the #### thing at Nogales. And told Dispatch they have a BIG problem courtesy of Mexico. It wont be the first time.Farmerbob1 and baha Thank this. -
When your pay goes to .42 you'll feel better about things. Cfi is o.k. if you get with the right people. It's not who you know, it's who knows you. Find the cfi what's your 20 thread if you need help. Unless you get a load unassign, the 1600 miles should be yours for the next paycheck. Ask your dm.Farmerbob1, x1Heavy and FlaSwampRat Thank this.
