What did this rookie do wrong? Scale question....

The platforms of the scale are/should be dead perfect level. After you pull on scale and stop at the speaker/phone, you should be able to open the door and reach out to the button without the truck moving. Of course a tanker without baffles will have some surge, but that is the exception.
I never set brakes on the scale.
In the example, the driver wasted time with a reweigh, but a new driver may not have learned yet that this was legal. Whoever taught him/her didn't do a very good job in their training.

 

thank you, there have been various answers thrown around here, probibly all true, was just curious what the "right" answer was

 

The image is not showing now, but it was on the bottom of the ticket; said something about ~driver unless otherwise stated~ As I said, newbie question, because I am new to all of this, and I have never seen a scale ticket, therefore I would not know if the driver's name would be on the ticket. Cool your brakes, Student.

 

Don't know what you are getting angry about. Just trying to figure out where you got that theory, maybe you saw something that I couldn't notice. As I stated the only name I saw was the name of the Weigher. I wish the pic was still up so I could double check. No offence intended so relax.

 

I CANT see the BLASTED PICS......

 

so i am guessing the answer is........hes a swift driver???....oh sorry...nevermind

 

First weigh was something like 12060, 32500, 29500
Second weigh was something like 11950, 31900 30200

 

I saw the pics. The names were the truckstop employee doing the transaction. Just below that there is a box for them to check if driver is not in the truck. One ticket wasn't registered correctly so the name was shifted down a little bit too much by where the word Driver was and the employee name covered the rest of the wording.

 

I'd have run it as-is on the first weigh. Heavier on the drives (trailer tandems stretched out more) rides and handles better anyway, besides being lazy and not wasting more time.
