    Negligible. Besides the helium will seek escape in a matter of days. Even a freshly filled balloon, if you hold a detector to the balloon it will detect leakage. We need to stop this banter as we are getting of course to the thread, this is the LEO thread, not the hijackers.

    "Hassle" you, no.

    Tell you about it, so you don't load up on fuel and get in trouble at the next scale, you bet.

    Had a guy in here last week (had several others over the years) who was over gross wt and could not understand that there was no way he could correct by sliding his axles.

    He was 82,400#. He kept asking, "what if I slide my tandems all the way to the back?", and, "what if I slid my 5th wheel all the way forward?", things like that.

    I was finally able to convince him that no amount of sliding was going to make his rig 2,400# lighter. But it took me 30 minutes or so!:biggrin_25526:

    You had a lot more patient with him than I could have had. I am no rocket scientist but I even understand no matter how much sliding you do you will never correct that.

    Don't feel bad my crew thinks sliding the fifth wheel will move weight to/from the trailer
