A concern about getting caught overweight at a weigh station

deleted last 3 post, and I stand corrected, my only excuse, is the narcotic pain meds I'm on from after surgery I had on the 3rd of this month

 

Its all good. I know all about posting some crazy ish and looking back and wondering exactly what I was thinking?!? A lot of good folks on here corrected me,. and all I did was argue with them.

So its all good brother. I'm too easy going to not like anyone. We are all brothers in this industry. Dont sweat it.

I hope you get better and recover 100%

During my time at Sysco I had our supervisor riding with me because I was still in training and we headed out for deliveries in a single screw truck and a 38ft trailer. When we approached the last exit before the chicken coop I asked if he wanted me to go around and he said "ah don't worry about it your fine" so I went ahead and it was open. Well.... ended up being about 1400lbs over on the drive. As soon as I pulled around back the supervisor got out of the truck and went to the edge of the parking lot on the phone. He got as far away as possible. I ended up unloading a pallet up front and putting it in the back and got with in 400lbs and they let me go, but not before they also inspected me, found a couple little things, but nothing major. Ended up getting a warning ticket out of the deal. Just goes to show these big company's don't give a crap about you and wont stand behind you, So this is one reason I moved on from Sysco to work for a local family operation that cares about you and will stand behind you and still make about the same amount of money a year.

If you treat the troopers with respect and not make their job harder they will make it easier on you and will be more likely to cut you a break, you will never win being difficult with them

 

Thanks brother, Doc says best I can expect is about 80% recovery, had a complete bicep tendon rupture and needed surgery to repair the damage, this surgery consist of making a 4" incision just before the elbow on my forearm, drilling a hole in the bone and pulling the tendon thought the bone and anchoring it with metal to the bone, YouTube has videos of others that has had the same surgery

 

That is confusing... Michigan State Police do not have cages in their vehicles. By policy, passengers (arrested, transported, helped ect) ride in the front seat. Can you elaborate?

 

Myself i ran into a problem recently with my steers weighing +500lbs over there axle gross. myself, i realized my dumb bells & plate weights to my curl bar. need to be moved to the rear of the bunk and not left in the front of the cab. yepper

 

You have this backwards. If you slide the 5th wheel forward you put more weight on the steers not the drives. Anyone agree with this?

 

I agree
