Overweight and OOS

I would also add the OP did not provide enough information to answer the question. Yes it is a given he got a fine. Till we find out if he got a filled out inspection report we don't know about the CSA.

 

Not being disagreeable, but Slim must be fairly new to flatbed. First off, California enforces the bridge law. He would have to close the spread. Closing the spread shifts about 2500lbs to the trailer. This is what got him put OOS.

OP was supposed to close the spread before loading, its much easier to do. And if he kbew where the center of the trailer was with the spread closed, he would have lnown that the shipper loaded him tail heavy.

 

I lam ost in anything flat bed there buddy

 

I was just speaking on the general over and OOS

 

How many spread axles out here allow one to "close the spread"? I guess I've been away from flatbed too long. Nobody I knew had any spreads that would "close" except perhaps a handful of owner-ops or specialized fleets.

 

For me it is the issue of blaming the shipper, nothing else.

 

I just noticed the other day you have a fleet. What do you all pull?

 

CSA does not track overweight tickets.

Size & Weight
Q: Will overweight violations noted on roadside inspection reports affect a carrier's CSA scores?
A: No. Size and weight violations were removed from the now obsolete Cargo Related BASIC when the Methodology was updated in August 2010.

What about the OOS issue?

 

OOS was for an overweight issue. Overweight violations not tracked.
