Scale help

$2 cat reweigh now sir

 

May need to get with dispatch. Tell them your axle weights and if something needs to come off then they will contact the shipper and make them take it off. Now that you have a scale ticket you have to do something about it other wise if you weren't leaving state, going very far or not hitting scale I would slide my 5th wheel back and run with it but you already scaled so now you have to fix it. Your at 77K and some change but it sounds like the way it was loaded is the problem and they didn't spread it out but rather pushed it all forward. I hate it when they do that crap. Thank god for flat beddin'!

 

Ouch. Must have gone up in the last 6 months or so. I use weightright on my truck and trailer
and haven't been stopped for being over weight so far. That plus the use of a customers scales when they are available.

 

Driver needs to kind of coordinate that I guess because obviously the shipper can't read a scale ticket. Need to move 4,000 lbs aft.

 

It's only 29,000 on the trailer. Am I missing something?

 

They won't re work the load.

 

I thought driver said they won't do it again.....Ah I get it now. I thought she meant they wouldn't do it again after this one last time. They have no choice. They created the problem as much as the driver did.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone move weight forward in that situation?

 

Then don't pull the load... Sit in their yard until they do, with it on your truck... Don't run illegal... If you do, then it's on YOU!

 

Sounds to me like they loaded everything at the nose of trl.Only weigh you can get it legal is to have the shipper rework ld and you already said they won't do it so tell your dispatch asap. But if they by chance do,give them your scale tickets.

 

Are you sure your numbers are right? Doesn't look like anybody moved ANY THING. Only looks like tractor 5th wheel position was changed. On an issue like that, try and get the steer under 12,500, then stop messing with the 5th wheel slide. And if the trailer is all the way forward, and you're still heavy on the drive, they have to reload the product (add an additional 'single' toward the front of the trailer)

I wouldn't drive a truck that heavy on the steer. If I can't get the steer to very near 12,000 with 34k on the drive, I will not be happy with said truck.

That's where drive bag pressure gauges are truly worthwhile in those types of situations. No, a shipper won't move a load based on the drivers suspicion but at least you can try if you KNOW you're going to be WAY heavy on the nose just from experience. This new truck I have does not have them and I HATE it.
