Message:: [QUOTE="Charlie42, post: 12302509, member: 320021"]Any suggestions would be helpful. I have a strange load on my trailer, seemingly stuck there for now. Freight was supposed to be “wrapped sheets of metals”. Got to pickup and they started loading sheets one by one. 97 sheets and 4 hours later, all on. I asked a few times for confirmation on the weight. Everyone said “yep, weights correct, you’re all good.” Headed off to a weigh station 20 miles down and could feel the weight was way off. So, it puts me 800” overweight. Called the shipper, he said “just bring it, I’ll pay any tickets or tires blown”. Righhhtt..Broker who set it up says “shippers problem, not mine.” Rate con from the broker outlines the weight and number of sheets, and it is 12000lbs off. It’s valuable freight, so I’m curious why they don’t hire a forklift to come out half on a different truck and get their freight delivered. I’m sure this has happened many times, a first for me where I’m not legal to move due to the weight error. Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
