    Ah, Miss Louise, you bring back memories. I use to live in Nampa and hauled sugar beets to Amalgamated Sugar there in Nampa from the dumps in Little Valley, Murphy etc. We hauled them in bottom dumps with 7 axles (doubles) and were allowed to gross 105,000 lbs legally. This was in '82, '83, and '85. Not sure how many axles you are pulling now and if Idaho has changed their weight requirements, but the only time we were legal was when we ran Little Valley to Nampa and had to go through the scale at Bliss. Other than that, we were always 120,000 gross. (no scales) :biggrin_25517:
