The major steel recycler in Selkirk, MB has a scale that's more accurate than our own yard scale (then again, my company used a propane heater and a Super-B tarp to defrost the sensors on our scale this past spring).

When I'm in the truck, 1 a day.

Sorry Hurst, a little late in seeing this. But if it helps, the ride I'm in is a '98 W900 w, the 72" sleeper, CAT 475 turned up to 550, (sorry, not sure of the gearing) but with 24.5 rubber and 18-sp. it does 70-72 at around 1450-1500. Also, never scaled it bobtail (only been driving it since April) but with 1/2 load of fuel (twin 150 gal. tanks) and hooked to "my" '14 Great Dane 48' skateboard it scales just under 33k. I'm home until Thurs. or Friday, but if there's anything else I can help with just let me know.....Hurst Thanks this.

What do you mean it's overheight?
(I did not roll out with an overheight load... Sitting right at 13' 6" in pic #2)
peterbilt_2005, Zeviander and macavoy Thank this. -
Easy load from btc memphis yard to okc, i don't screw with beams, pipe, bar stock, or rebar. I over secure. This load is 42567lbs, ive got 63600lbs of securement, bulkhead on the bottom section, and trip chain on the top piece. Easy load for the rate is getting and me at 29%
Dye Guardian, Chewy352, passingthru69 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I wouldn't have worried about it. Of course most states I run in 14 ft is the max.Dye Guardian Thanks this.

@Chewy352
Is this a load you would build a bulkhead at the front of? I have a headboard on the trailer, nothing on the truck. Steel billets.
peterbilt_2005 and Chewy352 Thank this. -
I would, that header board isn't going to prevent it from gaining momentum. A bulkhead in front would
Chewy352 and DDlighttruck Thank this. -
I would also if I had that ld. Too much space for speed to build up like Gunner said above
peterbilt_2005 Thanks this. -
Looks like 30 possible missles there
