    Then you're in on it, if that's how you feel.

    Call BS on all this.

    As soon as he moved, first stop sign or light, anyone would be going "Whoa WTF do I got here."

    He called a driver that called me. Said he thought I would fire him. I’m not that hard on them. But I will have a good talk with him and let him know that if he has a slight worry of overweight get to closest scale and I will refund him.

    Not in on it. Just trying to have a sense of humor is all. It’s only a 460 12.7

    I totally agree with you that he should have known. But the engine is a 12.7 out of a 2002 Kenworth. Never been turned up, by me anyways.

    You're last few threads, I have concluded that you're forming an outlaw company.

    And you'll get away with stuff for awhile.

    Maybe years.

    One of the things I'm most certain of in this world though, is no one really gets away with anything.

    In Pa. a few years back we hauled coal. We usually grossed 90,000 some on first load and then 80 some on second load. Two loads a day six days a week. This was in mid 70's to late 80's. Finally Pa came down on the coal company and tried fining the high lift operator, and the company. They cut gross to 80,000 after that. So point is some companies are cautious and scared of overloading a truck now days. I may add never had any problem with wheel bearings what so ever.

    If your truck has a dump switch for the drive axles you can put a air gauge on the line, then put the air gauge on trailer on the air line that runs between the 2 axles air bags.
