    went to pick this up yesterday. was told it weighed about 45k. closest scale was 45 miles away. 5 axles. was i pissed??? weighed it, screamed, and took it down the road to my friends garage 3 miles away. told the broker to give me $1000 for my trouble and he'll get the location of the machine and the keys. I'm still pissed

    if the load is prepaid you might want to b a little careful about hiding the load.

    to be fair...perhaps the broker was told that it was around 45k? shippers lie occasionally too.

    Share with you, most shippers have no clue as well as brokers.

    Been more than once some fool is a expert and that is where this type of mistakes happens, drivers end up cleaning up the mess or dealing with it best they can and it sucks.
