Overweight on drive axle

The worst? Nasty fine. Points on your CDL. Forced out of service in a weigh station until load is reworked. Possibly being charged for the reworking, depending on company policy. Being fired if this was not your first tangle with DOT. Difficulty being rehired by a quality company.

Chances are pretty low it would all work out that way, but not impossible.

 

Cash changing from your pocket to scale master at most every scale that may be open??

 

Learn the phrase . . . “That’s trucking”.

They can figure out where to get it reworked.

 

Good deal if they get it ready to go over the weekend but if its not going to be (reworked) Sat. you may need to get a different load if they have one that is?

 

You would be OOS. And lead to other problems and fines against you that you cannot afford.

I would have left the #### thing at Nogales. And told Dispatch they have a BIG problem courtesy of Mexico. It wont be the first time.

 

Unless they changed things, Nogales the bols are kept in the mailbox near the office door. Document everything on the peoplenet in writing. Keep your process clean. Don't let bad or lazy habits become your m.o.
When your pay goes to .42 you'll feel better about things. Cfi is o.k. if you get with the right people. It's not who you know, it's who knows you. Find the cfi what's your 20 thread if you need help. Unless you get a load unassign, the 1600 miles should be yours for the next paycheck. Ask your dm.
