I've yet to drive OTR and have this question on scaling a load. When you leave the shipper, what if the nearest scale is 50 miles away, you scale your load, and despite sliding axles and/or 5th wheel, you cannot make your load legal. You need to go back to that shipper and have them adjust it, so you don't get cited @ the chicken coop, right? The aftermath would be driving 50 miles unpaid back, use up more fuel(goodbye bonus), more hours driving/not driving on your log, and another 50 miles to make it back to were you where. Is this how it is done? How can this be avoided?

Hey Dazed, what type of applicator would be used to apply the 50/50 solution to the sliding rail/pins? Just a spray bottle should do the trick, aye?
