Where is everyone #5

Petro Clearwater, MN for a long 34. Deliver just south of Fargo on Monday morning.

Got to be home Wendsday to take the wife to the airport and watch the dog for the week.

Darn cab airbag leaking just a little. Hope it holds together till I make it back home?

 

Got it, Thank You!!!

 

Is it possible to break a website??? Asking for a friend.

 

I get in these lulls where I have to explain it step by step for one or two weeks and then I’ll be fine for a few months with “Yes sir, I DO know how to do a split weight.” Alrighty then ma’am.

 

We recently weighed a couple of our fire dept trailers at Love's here in town. I wound up inside helping her while talking on the phone to my partner out on the scale. Apparently. "I need each axle weighed separately" is a new concept?

 

I occasionally lose my cool and just tell myself to get a regular weight and ride. Normally, unless it’s a really whacky load it’ll be a 50/50 split on the spread or #### close. If it’s heavy all I need is 50-55 psi on my drivers and I’m good to go. That alone will cover your butt on 95% of the freight we run.

We do get stuff like I have now where they will make you heavy on the ### regardless of what you tell them. I knew I was gonna be heavy too — I’m under 50psi for the drives and it’s roughly 46k of product... makes for a nice and enjoyable slosh bucket ride.

Ahhh the joys of having a non sliding fifth wheel. Lovely.

I wonder what those heavy haul guys put up with. Their just weighing axle groups but I can imagine Ron and Solo taking an hour at a scale just to figure it all out

 

I go on and get a gross, go in tell them I want a reweigh and I want to pay for it all at once. They’ll usually show me the first ticket so I can see my weights and have the number. Then I go out and reweigh each group as I want, even the 9 axle I can weigh in two trips. It’s more work for me but easier than arguing.
