I've been thinking about getting a Moore Maker, but after looking at their website I realized they're proud of 'em. Do you think they're worth the money?

They gave me a load this morning north of 33K, which is a lot for a single screw and 48’ liftgate. One look and I knew it wouldn’t scale the way it was but I could make it work with a few adjustments, contrary to the insistence of the driver loading out of the door next to mine.
Basically I had them pull off the first 4 stops, load the skid that was left right on the back out of order, swap stops 2 and 3, and leave the 4 chemical totes that were stop 1 closer to the door and strap them in.
This overloaded the trailer tandem by about 1500, but that was easy enough to fix by sliding the axles back.
By the time I rolled out I was looking at 10.8 on the steer, 19.5 on the drive, and 33.6 on the trailer.
Now here’s the part @wore out could probably relate to. After I got back I was explaining this to 2 knuckleheads who don’t believe in pre and post trip inspections, who in response insisted that “well we would’ve ran it outlaw because we can”.
Really? You wouldn’t even attempt to make it right first?
I’m not opposed to doing that if I have to, but I’m not about to do it just because. There’s a funny thing about luck. Eventually it WILL run out. It might be sooner, it might be later, but at some point it will happen.JolliRoger, Gatordude, Oldman83 and 10 others Thank this. -
