45,306 is doable in a 386 right? I'm here in Old Fort, OH, waiting for my turn to pickup baking soda apparently. On the other hand, if I run 294 to 290 to 90 to 20 and hit the back roads from Fort Dodge to the terminal and/or Sioux City, I shouldn't have to set an axle on a scale anyhow, right?

 

i personally hate route 20 from Rockford to Dubuque but yeah its doable.... if you got to go to the terminal run 20 to 218 to 18.... no scales!!

 

I gotta agree with you hawk on that stretch of 20! I got pulled over in Freeport right after I started here. A cop was getting on in front of me and I left my cruise set at 60 (55 zone) and I was right behind him but not tailgating. Yeah he pulled me over for going 60, gave me a clean inspection and I got $50. No speeding ticket. I guess he was bored.

 

when ever i pick up in dubuque i usually go back down 61 and get back on 80....

 

Are you taking that stuff to Consumers Supply in Sioux City? If so don't forget about the scale on 20 just north of Early. There is a CAT Scale about 25 miles from there at a truck stop & the intersection of US 6 & US 23. When I was there they lady in the front office said only tankers are allowed to use the scale, but it was late enought that the guy in the back warehouse told me it should be ok.

 

Tankers only WTF? Thanks for the heads up. I'm actually just running 80/680/29. Full fuel I grossed 79920 and even managed to get it almost fully balanced! 100 over on the steers on F.

Larry did we pass each other in rural Illinois late this morning?

 

So I've arrived at Comsumer Supply, after calling ahead and the lady telling me I can park here in back overnight, and telling the office to add that to the location directions, but I realize now they don't even have room for their own trailers! I just checked and they did add it to the notes. Oops.

Larry, didn't you read Mike's fleetwide message the other day? "Drive around all scales!" That's what he said, right?
