    Did you forget the dead hooker in the sleeper again? Those can make you or break you on the scales.

    And no, dot won't count them toward mattress thickness if they check that.

    Not true my drives the other day were at 59840 and after driving to Billings from Buffalo, WY they scaled out at 59520 and all the weight came off the drives. Steer and trailer were the same as Sheridan port scale. My tanks sit under the cab.
