Arizona Scales???

Sage words, the lowboy trailers have axle gauges now and most DOT know the weights when looking at them.

 

SHC

Understand about getting worked up, if you can get the tractor gauges installed.

I never trusted anyone's word after getting a 2,700.00 overweight ticket years ago in Kentucky, set three days just so the mill would come out and remove the extra weight.

That was the shippers most expensive load they ever sold, lied on the BOL and to the DOT. Good thing was the troopers knew they were always overloading trucks and pretty much sided with me.

Took a year to get my money back, just a hard way to learn never trust a broker or shipper unless a 3rd party scale confirms.

 

Those cowboy hats have a big brim for reason. I didn't have a cowboy hat but i had a hat with a big brim. Also drink plenty of water,forget the sodas and energy drinks plain old water. You could always mount the tractor gauge in the sleeper tool compartment.On the trailer look where the airline goes in the airbag you might be able to put a T right there and even if you use some industrial double sided tape to mount the gauge,even velcro.

 

If i turned back to get a load fixed every time it weighed more than stated i would never do any trucking. But like was allready said alot of loads weight less than stated so it all works out. For 480lbs i would not even think twice about running it with a spread axel trailer. The farther you run the lighter you will get as you burn of fuel.

 

Good advice right there

 

MY AXLE WEIGHTS ARE 11,160 / 39,920 / 38,400

Was this a misprint? You're one hell of a bunch more than 480 over.
Just curious.

 

Unless my calculator is busted my calculations are 89,480 Gross

Just sayin, I would avoid chicken coops even if I had to be a desert lizard.
