    4,000 lbs over? I know I haven't. Why would you even risk that?

    one last thing.....actually some advice, which can be a bit sparse around here from time to time........ invest in $5 worth of lube.....be it WD40 or (my choice) PB Blaster. It will help in many ways on down the road.

    Let us know if you start getting a boat load of red lights from PrePass. o_O

    At least you didn't get an inspection this day.

    Pretty much. I'm assuming that's why they flipped it closed.

    Guys,quit pickin on this young man...........

    He really doesn't have a clue what were talking about.

    First thing you need to do is get a radio in that truck..Next,Learn to adjust brakes,Its pretty simple.

    Listen to Dipschitt..He has pretty good advice........I suppose.

    This companies CSA score is atrocious so I've been getting pulled in every time anyway. I should have looked at the CSA score before I made the jump for a couple extra cpm. I almost never got pulled in before.

    I haven't been near that much over, but I have been loaded butt heavy and was over bridge length a few!!! times, sure, I could have had the load reworked, but I chose the scenic route

    If the trucks are lined up on the shoulder of the highway drive on by, that's a safety issue.

    You could be the ticket and court any day.
