Can any of you shed some light on something for me: I got a friend on the phone, and he just started at Walmart not long ago. He's working out of the Brundidge, AL DC. He got his load, and it's a multi stop load going to Tampa. He has 35k on the trailer axles, with randems all the way to the rear. I'm thinking Florida is a little lenient on axle weights as opposed to total gross. It seems like I've came across drivers before who were near 40k on trailer axles traveling through Florida. Do any of you know this to be true?

 

Thanks for that info! He had been pulling flatbed for the last decade so he's still learning about weight distribution in dry vans and reefers. He had already got an overweight ticket because didn't try to get it fixed before leaving the DC. It was something Iike his 3rd run. They sent back with a trainer for a couple of weeks. Anyway, he ended up dropping the trailer somewhere and they had to take a couple of pallets off. @radioshark when you say tires have to be rated for the 40k weight on the trailer tandems, does that mean the standard 295R tires wouldn't be good for hauling that much weight?

 

That is bizarre. Each time I've gone it was probably an hour unload time at best. I guess every where has a bust moment. I'm about to take off and finish for Moberly here momentarily. This sausage, egg, and cheese mcgriddle is giving me new life lol

 

What's good fellas? I'm out here in Monte Vista camping out for the night. I'll be picking up for Pageland in the am. Delivered Coke about midday in Denver. Whether I take this load all the way to Pageland remains to be seen. What yall got going on?
