The other thing about Liberty is that there are no good scaling options... either drive 50 miles to the first scale on route or drive 32 miles in a wrong direction to the “closest” scale and end up some 80 miles out of route and lost time doing so. {shrug}

Redelivering a load that was late yesterday coming in to Newnan,GA at the Petsmart.
Had to grab the trailer from the Dalton drop lot and come back south. I was home for a quick reset, woke up at an ungodly hour to get this done.
Then on to Rome,GA live load destined for HD Topeka,KS.MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this. -
Tractor Trailers - Right WeighBigR Thanks this. -
but those would be interesting...
is there one on each set of axles?
Both tractor and trailer?
unless they would be cheaper in the long run, versus paying $12/load over the life of the equipment, I can’t see FCC doing it... we are a very frugal company... which isn’t a bad thing at all.
frugal company with happy drivers
edit: but the “interior digital” option reporting all three axel weights and total weight is pretty slick. -

@MidWest_MacDaddy how heavy are those loads coming out of Liberty? I very rarely use a cat scale, my onboard weight gauge is pretty dang accurate. Once I kinda zeroed it in, I will use a scale once in a blue moon.
MidWest_MacDaddy, BigR and Silverdriver Thank this. -
I’ve been running my tail off since leaving the house two weeks ago. I dropped the load I pulled out of California in Coppell, Tx., bounced 10 miles over into Dallas, grabbed a preloaded trailer that’s destined for Council Bluffs, but I’m dropping it at the KCMO drop yard tomorrow. Grabbing a trailer from there and dropping and hooking In Edwardsville, Illinois sometime Thursday. That load goes down to Newnan, Georgia for a live unload Friday morning, and then I’m deadheading to the house.
FCC’s planners and my dispatcher have never failed to get me home on time in 3.5 years. I didn’t think they would be able to pull it off this time, but they came through once again. This will be a quicker home time for me, I have to get my permanent crown put on Monday morning, and then will roll out again most likely until Thanksgiving.Vic Firth, Silverdriver, BigR and 2 others Thank this. -
Pet food loads are some times really heavy.MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this. -
