No air gauges on the truck or trailer? Then I would go to the nearest public scale or avoid all the weigh stations on the route. I sure wouldn’t fly blind and pull into a scale without knowing my weight unless I knew it was a light load.
It doesn’t have to be a Cat scale. A lot of places have certified scales, you may have to toss them a few bucks to use it but at least you’d know.
TMC publicly shaming its drivers.

I cannot understand why anyone would work for them anyway. Their trucks are neutered P.O.S.s How do their drivers not go insane driving 62 mph?

It’s small-minded petty BS.

FFE had our team truck at 63. They had the speedometers showing 65 until I bought a laptop Rand GPS in the late 90's to reveal the actual speed at 63 in real time. I took the information to the FFE lancaster shop and asked them to fix the speedometer calibration to show proper speed to 63. Boy they pulled me in the office then. I showed them the screenshots evidence and so on. They asked me to let it go. And you wonder why were 20 minutes late at 63. (A team truck too...) If we were able to lope along at 70 or 75 out west there would have been no service failures. We hate those. -
spsauerland Thanks this.

From the sounds the company is shaming those that are at fault, why should the good drivers who do their jobs the right way at these trucking companies be punished by the actions of the bad apples. -

Seems to me they are doing it “in house” not publicly. If the op hadn’t brought it up I sure wouldn’t have known about it.
