    Me too. That’s why I prefer to do my own hookups and to be able to use a scale.

    I had a few over weight ones dropped in Nashville from Wilmington. One a few weeks ago I had to get on a lift and take 4 pallets off and leave them.

    We don't really have to scale because of all the empty air in packages.

    But I've redone a LOT of other drivers' work to get things to my liking.

    Ok boys so I've been out since last Thursday and I'm getting some good ### miles. Here's how it's gone so far...

    Memphis to Kansas City
    Kansas City to Denver
    Denver to Kansas City
    Kansas City to Denver

    End of the week so I ended up with 3100 miles. So far to start this week...

    Denver to Kansas City
    Kansas City to Nashville

    They wanted to send me to Fargo, ND and I wanted it so bad man but I'm low on hours. I had to decline it. I'm probably going to go home tomorrow, but to keep the momentum, I'm going to see if they'll send me to Birmingham and then home to utilize the last little 11 hours I have.

    Good start of my day, hook my set and do my pre trip.
    I knew as soon as I did my tug test something was up with the brakes...
    Rear box passenger side brakes are so out of adjustment the pads don't even touch the drums. There was a good 1/4 gap with the brakes fully applied.
     
    LtlAnonymous and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this.

    Yeah, luckily it was at my yard. Breakdown couldn't get someone till the morning so I was able to take a different trailer. So it only cost me 35 minutes or so.
