I think I'm over weight

Real load, scaled properly. It is a relayed load, previous driver had a hard brake somewhere in eastern Tennessee. It's roll stock, 7 rolls. It has since been dropped back at the yard for someone else to fix.

 

Big rolls. At least nothing bad happened.

 

Just do a hard brake in reverse and put it back where it belongs.....
Course there is a chance you might need a new set of doors when your done...
But that’s just minor details...

 

The only thing you can do at this point is run it and avoid the scales or go to the customer tomorrow and get a reload.

 

What are you hauling? What kind of trailer?

 

I keep seeing Schneider, Swift and jb hunt trailers rolling down the freeway with their tandems slide all the way to the rear in California no less. I also see guys sliding their tandems at places that don’t even require it, I told one guy to make sure he dumps the air in his tractor and trailer and he had no idea what that even meant. This is the future?

 

Load bars would just have been knocked down, unless they were etracks. If he had gotten some straps in front, maybe they would have done a little. I think the shipper skimped on the skid mats, I think the driver didn't scale the load so he was already drive heavy (that shipper tends to need the tandem up and he had them at the 43 foot Mark, I slid up before scaling), then the hard brake let things fly.

When you're loaded from the front to the back you can get away with a lot of aggressive driving and not have a problem. Roll stock or other stretched loads need a more gentle hand.

 

Rolls of paper... Load bars or even straps won't do squat

 

Now for a hijack of the thread slightly.
