A bill of lading shows the weight to be 44,000, but the load is not known to dispatch. You have a single axle tractor and a tandem axle trailer. The load is not leaving the state....can it be hauled? Thanks!!
If the bills say 44,000 and it truly weighs any where near that weight then there is no way you can take that load with a single axle tractor. What do you mean when you say load is not known to dispatch?
This is how the question was stated on a study guide...I'm not sure why it was put that way. I appreciate the help, can you explain a little further? I tried to look it up..I know tandems are 34,000 lbs, so does that basically cut the weight limit in half with the single axle? Thanks again!
No it cannot be scaled properly or hauled, unless you like tickets. So as a rather simple answer just cut the tandem weight in half. On those dmv tests and study guides you have to read them and pick out the key words. What state are you in? What state is it for?
The driver is responsible for assuring the proper weights. The reason they put "unknown to dispatch" is to throw you off. No, you cannot haul it with a single screw.
