Kentucky 24 is # TRIMAC ( tanker yanker )

How's the weather in Kentucky? It is warm and sunny here in Indiana. Looking to take my wife on the bike for a ride. First time out in awhile. We were going to go on a ride Sunday a couple weeks ago. I discovered one nail all the way through, dead center on the rear tire. My wife is from Kentucky around Kentucky Lake.
I know what I wante to ask you. Lucian, the terminal manager said (when they go into Michigan) they may get tickets at the scale house for being overweight. He said the company pays the fines because obviously that can't slide any tandems. But now, won't we as drivers be assigned points on our CSA2010 reports?

 

great question....I asked this of several potential companies when I was looking into tanker none would give me a straight answer and dodged the question or flat out changed the subject..

 

Being as we would be working for Trimac and new at that, would we get away with that like you can. I am going to speak with the recruiter on Monday and try to get a direct answer. I know they can't slide anything, but they should know how to acheive a legal weight to run. I like the idea of a dedicated local run and from everything I am hearing, Trimac is a good company. If I can't get an honest answer in regard to this, I may have to go back to regional.

 

Do most of the shippers have scales you can use? Most of us won't have the air scales on our trucks as company drivers. If you hook up to the load, then go scale it, and are overweight, will the shipper remove enough to make you legal?

CSA is going to screw up alot of things like this for the driver.

 

the ones that suck are the ones with off site scales.
