    SO loaded, drove 300 miles, passed CAT scales, got caught.

    Advice, Load, find CAT Scale, if overweight go back to shipper.

    Shipper drives 300 miles to offload about 1900 lbs, you will be charged, may be the last time the shipper will use you.

    Lesson learned.

    Wkend dispatch can be like that with different compaines. Ok they will let you drop the trl. right.
    Hope so. If still there drop the trl. Go to the trkstp. Get some food a shower and call your company again first thing in the morning.
    Most compaines will make you pay the overweight and maybe the costs invovled with this.
    Be ready for an arse chewing.. Suck it in and it will all work out in the long run

    So your company said you can't drop the trl..
    I mean no disrepect, but you gotta be hungry and needy to clean up and have a good sit down if you know what I mean. Drop it fast and go clean up and then come back..
    Why won't they let you drop.. Who in their right mind would steal a ld. from a scale house. Never mind dumb question. Glad I own my own trk. company trl. and we drop all the time..

    I think that I would take my beatings and see how they treat you. Then maybe look else where after a month or so. Let the dust settle a bit. No being able to drop is kinda chicken. High value lds. I do understand, but it's a ld. of lumber
     
    x#1, 281ric and dog-c Thank this.
