The driver needs to add weight to the steers and the shipper needs to remove product to get gross weight under 80,000. Simple as that
The driver will maybe balk at adding weight to his steer (should ideally be 12,000) or maybe he can't. If not, then his maximum gross is 79,000 and probably should not be accepting reality heavy loads.
good evening! help!!

Route him through the woods lol. No scales
motocross25, 7-UP, Bakerman and 2 others Thank this. -
It's simple just take a pallet off the load and then move one pallet from the front of trailer to the back. That would be close to getting it legal.

You could buy an overweight permit in some cases. Probably cheaper to just reduce load to legal weight.
If the truck is equipped with an APU, there is a legal deduction that should be figured into total weight. -
sounds like the driver filled up tanks and doesnt have fifth wheel correct.
-
find out the weight a driver can carry, know how much the load weighs,quit overloading trucks and wasting everyones time.
RustyChops41 and driverdriver Thank this. -
Since you say your a shipper , I would follow the law and re work the load.
Technically a driver could call the cops in if you refuse. You or anyone else can't force a driver to roll with an overweight load/ truck.REO6205 Thanks this. -
yes call the U.S Marshalls

Right! If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a scale.Streetroddreams, Gearjammin' Penguin and Brickwall Thank this.
