That’s a bad attitude. Why would you put yourself in that position, overweights cost money.

True. I’ll scale out. I hit a weigh station and got the green light last night so i guess my load was on point and i thought of cke asking how it scaled out lol
Tug Toy Thanks this. -
Most scale houses have a digital readout. Some only weigh 1 axle at a time, others do axles and the whole truck/trailer.
I'll be honest I dont scale anything unless there's a scale on site and Im curious. I can legally carry 50k, but if a place ever asks me what my empty weight is, I make sure to tell them 32k. Just a few weeks ago, that saved me 5k lbs because they loaded me light lol.Speed_Drums, God prefers Diesels and catchall1234 Thank this. -
If you have a suspension psi gauge for your drives, and possibly trailer. It is a good idea to scale a few loads and compare with gauges Then you will have better idea where you stand when questioning weight.
Eventually you will load a 48k coil and know exactly where it needs to go. Don’t always trust shippers, they see a spread axle flat and think they can put it way back sometimes.Vampire, God prefers Diesels, catchall1234 and 1 other person Thank this.
