    No driver in the industry has been Trained to safely load a trailer. Let me model this: driver states, you need to scale this particular and every pallet. Then, work out a placement chart for each pallet that gets loaded onto the trailer. Math word problems...with no training. Safe

    Yeah but if the load is overweight and sliding tandems doesn't fix the problem you have to go back to the shipper to get reworked and the only time I roll is when I am just 100 lbs over on a axle as i can just adjust the amount of fuel I take

    You won't have any problems in Wisconsin. I run with mine 45-48 feet all the time. And if you want less scales take I-380 to US-151 north in Iowa to get to Wisconsin. You'll have one scale when you cross the bridge from Iowa to Wiscosin. And it's hardly ever open.

    Are you asking about the shipper or who I drive for?

    Aside from the produce haulers that still run 48' trailers, lots of people will care.
