That's rough. I don't see how a couple holes on the 5th wheel could make that kind of difference. I wonder if the load shifted. Guess you'll find out when you open it up. Did they fine you?
sat at scalehouse for 5.5hrs b4 getting g load reworked. kegs of beer. floor loaded d double stacked. all moved forward a d fell over.
jurupa terminal. got here late last nite so slept in truck. still no loads and went to dispatch window to talk to a planner and none are here . gave the guy at window other drivers truck number and he says his truck in on hold. so I called him and he found out he is on hold for the 90 day inspection. so now we are definitely not running this last trip. so going home.
I wonder if it was a hard braking event or if they were just loaded poorly. Doesn't seem smart to stack kegs.
I got to the Sam's in Eagan and as usual that place is a cluster. There were several loaded trailers parked along the side and another Swift truck was just backing in. When I went inside I was told there was no mt for me to take, so I would have to wait if I wanted an mt. What... I have a choice? Because I don't actually need an mt because I am going home. Oh, well, then you can just drop your trailer over there on the side and bobtail out. So then there were 4 trailers on the side and I was headed home. Nice. When I got to my car at IGH the battery didn't have enough charge to start the car. 5 weeks out... Good ol' NOCO battery jumper comes through and pays for itself once again. 82 degrees, so it was a nice top down drive home. I love having a rag top again.
I think a little of both. he said he had to come to a quick slow down at one point. also rough roads around vail my mistake was not stopping at a cascade b4 hitting the scalehouse. would still had to deal with the overweight... but wouldn't have got a tix
So what truck are you driving? In my LT I had a weight gauge and in my Cascadia an air pressure gauge for the drive weight. Those should have registered very high with that much weight up there.
