Big Problem With Load Right Now

This is totally true. I was just talking to tje higher-ups about this a week ago. The paid miles are calculated on the Rand McNally HHG routes and the fuel stops are figured on a totally different system based on practical routes so the stops tend to add aprox 60 unpaid miles to the trip. Until the problem is fixed I'll be using my own judgment on the fuel stops.

 

No it's Not part of trucking.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is ''part'' of the Mega Corps,manipulating,conning and brain washing drivers into being obiediant sheep to serve there BOTTOM LINE...Once drivers ''crack the code'' and grow a set of balls,you are not wanted anymore.

This is why many of us old timers are pissed..We are out gunned by so many ''newer'' drivers coming into trucking,driving the rates DOWN further than they were in the 80's....

This is/was the plan and the RICH GREEDY CORPORATE PIGS pulled it off....

 

You need to ''frame'' this ticket and hang it on the wall..It will be the first of MANY MANY tickets if you plan on staying for 40 years....

I am glad you got out there and lived a little....Now go FAX that ticket to USA Truck..And get down the road and make some money...

 

What kind of advice did you expect to get? This is basic stuff. It's not legal to haul an overweight load regardless of what a dispatcher tells you. Don't let ignorant people decide your faith. I'm sure you are a reasonably intelligent adult.

 

Look whos talking here...You yourself run ''illegal'' everyday on some level..Not one driver here runs 100000% compliant....Even the E-LOGGERS,lie,cheat and steal time.....

Now i can wait for your comments and you can TRY to convince everyone you are 1000000% Legal at all times.....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....

 

Im not always a saint but what I would have done was parked the truck untik USA got me an overweight permit.

 

Better yet...USA TRUCK would have to pay weekend ''layover'' pay too....and future tickets if they wanted him to run it...

 

Can't get an overweight permit on a load that can be corrected. Tried that with a load before. So that load was left at the yard until they hired somone to rework it.

This driver never should have tried running that load. Should have gone OOR to the closest scale for anything over 36k if you are not 100% sure you are legal.

Don't pay attention to the folks here that say bypass the scale houses. They aren't the ones that are going to pay your ticket. You are. Bottom line is you are responsible for all the decisions you make. You could have sat on the load and collected weekend pay or layover.

 

The trailer axles aren't rated for 40k lbs you don't overload equipment not rated for the weight then get an overweight permit. Ridiculous idea. I sure don't miss being in a bare bones company truck as others have said one simple suspension gauge would have had them reworking the load before op left. That gauge has saved me a bunch and I also never "go to truck stop and scale it" they either load it to my satisfaction at the shipper or they cut it off my truck and get another one.
