    From that I take it the factory scale is gross only. I don't see a scale at all at this one there must be more than one rathole.

    Even with efs equipped t stops i find it easier to just pay cash than go through the 20 questions. Also keeps my settlements simple...ish.

    Found the scale on the gps. Didn't even see that stop when I drove past. Must be a rat of a hole.

    Is 27 to I4 to 95 the recommended route back to base?. GPS seems to think so but I am loathe to go anywhere near Orlando. Twice a month is enough.

    Those other routes around the east side of the lake to 95 seem tempting but not sure if those little towns full of lights are any better.

    "Weigh My Truck" from CAT Scales

    Pull onto scale, tap a button, wait, done.
    Walk in and grab the ticket if needed.

    Reweigh... Same... But only step in store once for both tickets... I Love Tech!!!

    They both come together...
    One right after the other.

    Worth a call to question it.

    Tell driver to drop reefer,
    then tell driver not to drop reefers.

    Par for this course... ;-)

    Ugh... I hate waiting around the yard.

    Just had my AC fixed and I requested a PM.

    But it's "too soon" for a PM... So I will just need to return after 4K miles... Ya, ok, see you NEXT WEEK.... Ugh... Silly waste of time in my mind.

    Fine, see how you are???
    Take my sweet load will you!!!

    Well, my Walmart shopping cart shipper was totally unaware I was coming yesterday so nothing was ready. So I got some shopping done at both Walmart and Sam's Club.

    So it wasn't a total waste.

    But then I got at the receiver and found out they closed receiving at 1400... So it looks like a shower and laundry night here at a small and now parked FULL Pilot.

    I guess a night off to get caught up on some personal work and phone calls isn't the worst thing that could happen.
