    water is heavy, at 8.lb/gal. using 10lb/gal makes for good trucker math. we had 700lbs free weight on a Tyson load, stuck in La Grande for a few days, didn't get dinged at the WA scale.

    or you could have told them to short you the ice weight, so you'd be hauling legal and not have to worry at the scales

    Your right.
    I get paid by the ton and I was not loaded on a scale, Just loaded using my gauges. I was shooting for 79.5k but I got a new trailer a couple weeks ago and havent got it mastered quite yet. I couldve went back and dumped off 700lbs but would been a time consuming affair as I would of had to get in line. That combined with it being 37 degrees I did something my Dad told me to never do. I assumed it would melt off.

    Pulling 80k through the rockies in freezing rain doesn't even SOUND pleasant to me. Thank god I'm starting out in Dedicated. I do not envy you sir. But I do tip my hat to you.
