Given the same situation, experienced drivers, would you do the same?

Dumont... We were WB but it pertains to EB as well... There are several in CO... Listed on that card is: Dumont WB/EB, Ft. Collins SB, Lamar SB, Limon WB, Monument NB and Trinidad NB.

 

Hypothetical question ?

So , say you left the shipper were in a hurry didnt weigh your load , then you realize oh #### !!!
So now by the air bag gauge the drives are good , but your tandems are to far back.

What do you all think they care about more , or both ?

 

CA? Both... Check your RM atlas for kingpin numbers... Out of CA you can be stretched in some states. I would also weigh it... That way you know whether to be nervous or not . (Cheap insurance)

 

Hey , hey .. who said it was me ?

Lol , ugh !!!!!
What if said person knew they were under gross ? Lol

Ah #### it !!!
I was tired , my 14 was burning bad and I needed to roll , and well I just didnt think about it.
gross on paper work say 41,309 so I am good on gross , they just tail loaded all the heavy #### I guess.

 

LOL... Our policy is that $10 is cheap insurance, and we rarely believe what they put on paper

 

Dam , I am so far away now though .... #### !!!!!!!!
if they didnt have a NET weight on it , I would be a little more worried now.
the 100 miles I drove I didnt hit one scale either.. lol go figure

 

What happened to my edit button ?
meh , what ever ...

Ladyk , well I decided today you know what , I am the one who was in a hurry and didnt pay attention so . I figured if I get hit for it lesson learned maybe next time I will think.

Well I hit a weigh station (red light) pull in , and I sat on the pad for about a full minute ( I was sweating )
I set my tandems right before I left thismorning ,
officer came over the speaker , and said I was over by 500 lbs but your way under on drives . Have a nice day...
phewwwwwwwww that was close..


Ok sorry for thread jacking carry on. Lol

 

Your nickname just got changed to LUCKY!

 

Lol. It was one of those one where the office was on the other side of the hwy , and I am willing to bet he didnt want to walk all the way over for a 500 lb ticket. Hahahaha

There was a office on my side of the road but it was empty , and dark.
Pretty sure thats the reason. But yes "Lucky" I was ...


I have learned my lesson tho , don't be in a hurry!!!!!

 

Good call. Safety first. Any officer with his head screwed on right would accept that.
