    Gotcha beat. With them dry van loads I was doin for a while, they were used/waste chemicals. Paint thinner, used oil, etc. When I'd get to a branch warehouse, EVERY customer, from EVERY route had a bol/manifest that had to have my printed name, signed name, Altom's EPA number, and contact number. Got worse when I'd take the full trailers from indy to Detroit for processing or disposal, or whatever they did with that toxic stuff. The stack of papers was literally 2" thick. Got writer's cramp doin those loads.

    Gotta give the guy some credit. At least he was centered in the tunnel. That scale guy probably would have stayed to the right and lost the upper right side of everything. And at a perfect semi circle outline. Lol

    Arrived here with 3 mins left... Maybe I am the only truck here tonight.... at this empty dirt lot somewhere on I-84 in OR... No... wait... there was a truck when I arrived here... can't see if it's still there cause it's sooo freaking dark out there... and the moon is covered by the clouds... I think trucks that park here turn all their lights off to "hide".... So, tonight I have my lights off....

    They're small bridges over normally dry ditches. Really short. If you passed a construction zone out in the middle of nowhere, that was it.

    Hey Mr... everybody lies in this business.... Dispatchers, brokers, shippers.... :biggrin_2552: and drivers.... :biggrin_25523:

    Hey... whenever I find a load to be "suspicious"... meaning, the weight on the BOL doesn't seem to correspond to the load, I scale it... :yes2557: Remember one time BOL showed 40,000 lbs... one piece of machinery... after scale, found out the thing was 10,000 lbs...

    Rush...:biggrin_25523: Nah... That word doesn't really describe me... :biggrin_25512: Besides, it would not be "fair" with other folks here that rush much more than I... I'll not tell names... They know who they are... :biggrin_2559:
