Full tank or not? Shipper...

Question - If you were let's say 200lbs over and burning it off idling at 1 gallon per hour. If fuel weighs 7.2lbs per gallon, that would mean you have to idle 27 hours to burn fuel to get to weight. Idling off the weight just doesn't seem to make sense. Were you joking or am I not understanding something?

I mean less than 100 lbs over. Just enough to where they could have a reason to pull you around back and mess with you.

The driver that brought that trailer in did not have full tanks. They weighed you empty and bobtail . Uh their trucks lost 800 lbs , we can ship X number more cases. Hence the over weight trailer. You go in on fumes you are messing with the next guy. Always show up at Budweiser FULL ! They will keep adding weight till someone tries running with a 5 gallon bucket as a fuel tank!
They want you pulling out the gate as close to 80k as you can be ! If you are to light , you are going back to the dock. Now you are 79999 and 1/4 tank . Have fun!
