Got loaded just fine this morning. 2 17,000 lb counter weights and a 1000 lb pulley block. I used the onboard scale on the trailer for the rear counterweight, and discovered it is out of calibration by 1500 lbs (the wrong way). With my tandems closed, it said I was 33400...rolling between Ottawa and Oak Grove, it seemed a little more tail heavy than that so I stopped at the Love's just east of Oak Grove and it was 34940 on the trailer, so I get to spread 'em until I hit the FL line. I will tape a note to the scale screen so the next driver won't trust it until it gets calibrated.

It’s super easy to calibrate if you would like to. It takes 20 seconds. I usually do it right on the cat scale after I get the weight on my phone.
This is how my evening went. This one actually added quite a bit of stress unlike most of the other things I post about. We were able to run the detour but it was tight. And on top of that I’m training another new driver this week.wulfman75, Lonesome, Knucklehead and 3 others Thank this. -

i need to get that back window regulator fixed. I’ve been putting it off for much longer than i’ll admit. It’s also getting new front shocks at the next oil change. The only major repair it’s had is the rear end was rebuilt around 180k, and it had a new A/C compressor installed a few summers ago. Other than that, nothing but routine maintenance

I'm shocked!!!! Today they announced the Solo OTR driver of the year, and it wasn't me....
....I know, I know, many will be shocked by that...I was robbed!!!! I am throwing in the red flag for an instant replay review from the booth...I want a recount...(Did I miss any sports or political objections?). The part that shocked me, @kylefitzy wasn't it either...I thought with his connections, and his exemplary performance that he was a shoe-in.
The Block Robert, Still undecided, wulfman75 and 7 others Thank this. -
