Parked Here for the Night

You've seen the inside of her truck (meticulous). Why would you be surprised she'd scale that, and have it perfectly balanced?

I scaled today just because the bills said I had 41+ on board. Pleasant surprise, they overdid it on their GW estimate. Load was actually 2,500 lbs lighter. I used the scientific method to set the axles. Product was back to about the 45' range (no, I didn't measure and no marks. Just a guess). Slid 'em back to the 41' spot and took off. Scaled 80 lb heavier on the drives. Loaded in VA near I-81 exit 298 headed south. So probably almost perfect due to fuel burn when I hit the platform at mm 149.

I'll never get it that close again LOL.

 

i scaled 5 times last trip at 79900 with 3/4 tank of fuel
then the boss wanted to know why fuel mileage dropped from 7.16 to 6.83
ihope he was just being cranky

 

I swear my last load was air . Lol

The bol's said 15,077 lbs. Got 8.9 from williamsport PA to Iowa city IA

 

Welp my cheap ### finally bought a dash cam. I couldnt pass it up.
I had been wanting one for a while ( against my better judgement ) It could help someday.

Sapp bros. $50 and I had $20 in points so I only paid $30 ( witch is the other reason )

 

so now we can see what you done wrong in the wreck?

 

Dispatcher's brains tangerine. . .

 

At the TA in Amarillo bout the 74 I think I'm too wore out to know. Wake me up bout 530. I can load in OKC for home tonite

 

Hey , easy now ... my driving isnt that bad.. lol

Thats funny right there and probably so true at the same time..

 

Because there has been times when folks loaded in a way that is was too heavy in the rear... despite of being light... and the trailer was filled all the way to the back... and the BOL didn't have accurate weight...
Nevertheless, that is a ticket I will not forget... What are the chances of getting something like that again???

 

THANK YOU!! You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT... Sometimes I don't trust the weight on the BOL and I have to scale just to make sure... better safe than sorry...
