    I agree, but with 15 years of nothing but equipment. I can tell you the width, height and where to place it for axle weight without even putting a tape or a height stick or a cat scale. But that takes time.

    And caring enough to learn it. The idiots aren't able to even guess within 6 inches.

    But you're absolutely right, it's got to be an unusual load for me to drag my stick out, because I've been loading the same stuff on the same truck for long enough that I pretty much know within an inch how tall it is.

    It’s just some of the things that come with putting in time. Same as cars though. There are a lot of guys that ain’t there yet. And honestly ain’t trying to get there.

    I really do feel bad for the guy. But we could have saved him a lot of heartache if he would have listened. We really wasn’t trying to be dicks about it. We just saw the train wreck coming

    My sources in Vegas tell me the smart money is on him teaming with a crazy Canuck because he already has a YouTube channel. :D
