Hello drivers etc

Hey everyone... I have come here to help get some answers for myself and fellow co-workers who work here at the outbound gate.


I have 18 years working in some form of transportation, from moving butts and bags, to boxes over the ocean, on the rail and over the road. I have worked for an airline, a steamship line (dispatched ocean imports in to the ports of LA, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle/Tacoma, and Vancouver Canada. Did rail billing for ocean imports in to California to where ever, and from the port of Vancouver to where ever in Canada, also did Import to export from LA/Longbeach to Tijuana and Mexicali as well as import to export to import (US port drayed to another US port to move via ocean to Mexico). I've worked for an intermodal drayage carrier as well as a 3PL managing a major paper exporter ocean exports and now I work for a ever growing flooring company. I work the inbound and outbound gate. Inbound check drivers in outbound process bill's of laiding, verify load matches bill of laiding and forward necessary documents to where ever the drivers load is going. I know yada yada yada... Just wanted you to know, I'm no dummy when it comes to freight. When it comes to bridge laws other than California being strict, I'm learning...


Wow, The 18 yrs makes me feel old, shhhh I'm only 38, and have no kids and ride a sport bike. So hmmmm no kids subtract 10 yrs, ride sport bike subtract another 5 yrs... Sweet I'm 23, sounds about right lol

So I'm here to learn a few things, so I can school these drivers that never learned about how to figure out what hole your tandem should be in. How to determine how much each tandem hole adjusts the weight (or whatever it's called). Because lately it seems to be a foreign language as I keep getting these "steering wheel holders" who are clueless....

So a big thank you to who ever can help me out.

Wishing everyone safe travels~~~
