Load is 47,429, is this legal? Can I even scale it?

what kind of shyster outfit does things like that? "snuck in two skids"? AND i am over gross?

i gather you have a company and dispatcher, have them figure it out for you

 

There's a driver at the Banning, CA, scale house. Been there over a week now. Maybe give him a call. I think he should be an expert on weight issues by now.

 

There may be a big dumbbell behind the steering wheel. I wonder what the weight savings could be

 

I always scale every single load.

 

This probably made me laugh harder than it should have!

 

Indeed.

Works wonders.

 

Well to answer the OP's question...of course you can scale it. Did you really need us to tell you that?

 

Be careful you don't break the CAT scale, you break it you buy it....

 

either every load you carry is about 40k, or you are wasting a lot of money (unless your company reimburses you)

 

I scale all my loads too. Got busted once in Calif 2200 pounds over on the trailer at 40 feet, so had to hire 2 guys and 3 pieces of equipment plus pay $2 bucks a mile to ship 1 pallet. Hey but I saved $10.50
