    Very funny but i am a solo driver and thinking right now how I can lessen the weight and it's snowing here in wheatridge So removing snow is going to be a futile effort since the truck stop I am at doesn't have any ladders to reach top of the trailer to knock snow off

    Well ... assuming it is snow weight on the trailer. You now have to find a way to get the snow off. If you have a cb radio you could ask if the fort Morgan Scale is open or not and take a chance. Don't show him the new Scale ticket though. Just the old one that says 79220. When you get to Nebraska you can tell if they are open by the flashing lights. You can get off at the truck stops before if they are open.

    Or you could wait until spring.

    I know and i am going through trying to remember what truck stops have the ladders or at least figure how to get the snow off as driving on the highway won't get the snow off

    Well you wanted to sit there and let the snow come instead of getting a couple of hours east and out of the snow.

    Stop whining and try to do your job.
