    Well not sure if I am completely right but if you have it just below 34 then it should be about 34000 lbs on the trl tandums. Must of those kind work great. I have seem some that are digital but those get out of adjustment. If your drive pressure is right on 60 psi and the trl is just below 34 then you are realy close. But I would still catscale out just to be safe.

    the boxes are located close to where the slide locking pin is where you would pull to unlock the tandum slide.

    Don't trust that Trlr Scale 100%
    Unless you've Calibrated it yourself.
    My guess is, since most of our trailers were bought used. Some of them jus happened to have those scales from the previous owner/fleet.

    That one was 2107. Most of the others I've hadwith the Scales are around 2xxx also.
    Look for a Strange looking black box on the trailer.Has a Cover on it usually.

    As been stated before. This campany is not for every driver. Drivers leave as their are things that they do not like. Some with really good reasons and that has been a great loss for this company. Other have been drivers that Judy can't be made happy no matter what. But this is still a trucking company. You have your slow times and so busy that you can't stop times. If reading this thread and you don't think it is a bad company then I guess for you the issues going on are issues you can deal with. Some other driver can read the same thing and think different. But also in the past few months we have had at the most 5 trucks empty out of 128.

    Start writing down the loaded miles on the dispatch and make sure it is what is on your check. I also try my best to find a shorter route so that I get paid for driving the dispatch miles when I drive less then that.
