    being 20 over gross is not bad. We are given an extra 460 lbs for the APU's. just try to put most of the weight on the drives where you will loss the weight for the fuel you burn.

    Forgot about the 400lb thing, I took it back. though.

    I think their Scales is messed up anyways.
    It was OK on one Axle I'd slide them to where It should have been close on both at least and I would be over on the other (opposite).

    I'd be 35k on Drives slide them like 4 holes and it'd be 35k on Trailer.

    I rescaled it 5 times.
    Got tired of Screwing with it, besides Brakes are messed up and when that was working I'd have to beat the Pins with a Hammer. Every single re-weigh was a chore lol.

    ####, if you are coming to a terminal make sure to write it up so they can hopefully fix it or sell it. Hope the rest of your trip is a lot better then trying to weight out.

    One of our lease trailers was 24k empty. It's a safe bet that it's the trailer. Scale it empty after you deliver. Whenever I get a lease trailer now, I always scale it empt before I go get a load. I know you pulled your load out of JBS, so that wasn't an option. If you used that cat scale at the Conoco down the street, it's accurate.

    It's an Extra stickers seemed to be pulled off though.


    Single Stop 1/2 on Fuel m

    Reason I thought the Scale was off.
    80020-79960/79940/79920 79900.
    A couple of the re scales it (The Weight) didn't do what it should have done.

    They took 2 Pallets off. Was 21 and 41157
    Now 19 39091

    Well I really like it here. I was deadheaded to New Albany from Demopolis Al. Got there and they gave me a load to Toledo OH. Yippe YAH!!!.. Met Lea and told her how much I hated the Cascadia and she had truck 277 sitting there waiting to be detailed and inspected and said I could have it !!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO....

    Well.. in the time it took me to swap trucks I ran out of hours to make it to Toledo in time so they gave it to another driver and gave me a load to Pueblo Co AND paid me 105 in detention pay... Even tho it was my choice to swap truck and miss Toledo Load..

    Then got a message from Lea on Qualcomm today saying how happy they were with me and that they appreciated me.

    Just some good stuff about FROW
