CAT scale

Joplin Petro on I-40 exit 4 was 1500lbs over on the trailer, was not able to get them to slide, and the scale house right next door was open.. A couple of others tried with me and had no luck. Took it to the petro garage, next door and this skinny mechanic ( 95lbs soaking wet) moved the tandems in under 5 minutes. Something me and at least 3 other could not do in 1/12 hrs LOL..

 

Frozen pins.
Release lever stuck.
Icy area trying to slide on.

 

Just curious...........it says you are age 16 why the interest to be so confused?

 

Many states will give you 1,000# over axle so long as you're not over on gross weight. Depends on the state & what discretionary powers that state allows, and the officer (new ones have their head swollen twice normal size & do everything exactly by the book). When the swelling goes down after they realize that by the book is not always good then the discretionary part kicks in.

 

Soap and water do come in handy. For some reason they just would not move. Ya frozen pins or release handle sticking, but this was a warm summer day, so not to sure what the reason was. All I know is 3 could not get them to move. But one skinny mechanic at the petro could. Could also have jared them loose a little bringing it to the shop which made it easier for the mechanic..

 

haha, sorry this really has nothig to do with the actual post, but double click the word scale, and read what it says.... pretty sure it has nothing to do with the subject matter here

 

Dont Forget to get your super cool cat scale ringtone off the cat site. I have it on my phone im oober cool

 

It states that you are 16 years old, I was wondering why you are so interested? and confused with the need.
