    Dumont and I are not on the best of terms, in '09, we used to run through there everyday with loads of wood pellets from Walden, even though I was overgross, prepass would let me through. One day I was on the verge of bursting at the seems, hit the ramp and the Conoco. On the way out I rolled across the scale, 82,400 lbs, with no snow/ice. She was salivating at that one. Co-worker rolled through 20 minutes later, 77,300 lbs. We had to had to move 1.5 pallets of pellets (say that 5 times fast) by hand from one trailer to another. And she still wrote me the ticket.

    Yep...Barb is a stickler for OG....

    I tried to convince her that the section of I-70 that runs through Dumont to where 6 splits off past the tunnels was also US 6 and US 40......And therefore...We could gross up to 85K.....She wouldn't buy it though...######...

    She's like my wife....Can't BS her either....:biggrin_2551:
