    Are you sure that they were assault rifles? Were they M-16's or AR-15's? There's a big difference yet they look the same.

    All I know is that they had black rifles and not just 1 but all the rear police vehicles had them aimed.

    I'm not a gun nut so can't tell you what model they were.

    41,100 probably doesn’t include pallet weight….
    And a poor guesstimate
     
    48Packard and mdmgolfin Thank this.

    Been a long time since I did a live at a Walmart and now I know why I hate it. Appointment was at 6pm. Put in a door at 520pm, and as of 840pm they have yet to even start on the trailer.
     
    Speed_Drums, nredfor88 and Lonesome Thank this.

    Question... isn't there a financial incentive for your am to get their driver's the quarterly bonus miles? If ams have 51 to 58 total drivers on their boards, the otr national drivers shouldn't have issues obtaining that but don't they also get rewarded for this?

    According to the bills, 38 pallets...last time I hauled pallets, CHEP's were 50 lbs ea...these are the cheapest whitewood pallets a produce packing house can use, so that's an extra 1500 lbs since they're lighter. I think they just guessed at the weights of each bin to be honest.

    I miss pulling a spread axle.

    You guys cursed my weights...

    Pull out of dock and not even half of trailer loaded but bills show around 41k in box. Loves just 2.5 miles down the road and sure enough I'm overloaded on my drives. These weights are with my tandems all thr way forward too.

    Currently back in the dock at this Americool waiting for them to fix their mess.
