    I don’t know, but this is the second time I’ve heard this week with us, pulling trailers out of the Kansas region that belong to Trans Am hauling them to California

    I've seen other companies pulling TransAm trailers lately. I want to say a couple were either Prime or the Wilson that is leased to Prime.

    I thought TransAm sold all their wagons and pull Prime trailers exclusively now

    It did have a 4 digit number on the hood, so owner-op. I didn't realize Crete had owner-ops. Thanks!

    Sound like we either bought some of their trailers, or are just helping them relocate some out west. I'm thinking the latter, idk why we'd buy secondhand, unless maybe for a dedicated account.

    And of course whoever tcalled this didn't make sure it was legal for Cali, so I get to deal with it. :rolleyes:

    Ahhhh, USCS in McDonough....God love 'em...35,000 lb load

    Of course, with 35k, I fueled first, then scaled...never fathoming I would be this nose heavy. Since it was GA, on a Saturday, I rolled with it. GA scales closed, and it's legal in FL. Creaffer needs to do 2 things with their trucks. 1) a slightly longer wheelbase, because I can barely contort my body between the fairing and the trailer to fuel. And after they do 1, 2) they need to give us back a sliding 5th wheel.

    And pin wheeled them.:)

    More likely someone was told "put 20 pallets on that trailer". The pallets were doubled stacked in the warehouse and the forklift guy just left them double stacked.
