How come NO ONE talks about the importance of weight scales?

That sounds like GP. Made that mistake somewhere else, made um take some off.

 

The gp in Georgia near Atlanta actually asked me if my tare weight was good or if they needed yo adjust it for my fuel level. I was surprised they actually asked lol

WOW!! Didnt know they knew how to do that lol

 

i would like to know what percentage of trucks run heavy let alone overloaded
hauling meat and beer we are heavy most all the time
Budweiser doesnt let you off site under 77,000
coming out of calf is the only time i am sure to be fairly light
I must scale at least 8/10 loads

 

79.3 with a 1/4 tank of fuel sounds like a typical day to me
he can still put on 75 gal no problem

 

Yeah he's only going 300 miles loaded so its no big deal. I just make sure I fuel every time before I go to a shipper. I've done the fuel count and scale house dodging dance before because of that. Won't be happening again.

I didn't mean it as a personal attack, if that's what u understood; I was simply stating the point of view of the noob, some of them anyways, others simply think they know it all already. I understand that this also may b ure own way of not being invitational, I use it sometimes too; but the last thing someone who needs some help wants, is to inconvenience anyone, so maybe that's also another reason they don't ask

 

yep can do that....you figure 7 ~ 8 pounds per gallon....thats how we do it....that would put him at 79900

we run right at gross almost all the time...(produce)...plus you figure we gotta have reefer fuel....

NEVER tell them that you still gotta have fuel...LOL....tell them you alrdy have at least half...

 

Drivers that are paid percentage, know all about this game !!!

More weight in the trailer=more you make !!

 

93K is the norm around here.
