Recent info on Western Express?

Okay, so it's easy at Western Express, but the scenario described in Rocknroller4's question can be problematic at other companies depending on their fuel policy. My last job was an LA-SLC dedicated that involved heavy loads back to CA, usually scrap cardboard. The circus of a company that I worked for had the following fueling policy: "no fuel in CA, ever." This usually posed no problem thanks to Primm, but the stupid policy occasionally transformed otherwise-legal loads into illegal ones (with enough fuel to make it back to NV).

The icing on the cake was the company's ridiculously high turnover rate at the Vegas terminal: 100% during just the 4 1/2 months I was there. They started hiring incompetent drivers who either didn't care, or didn't have a clue about, what they were dropping for someone else to take into CA.

 

Agreed.

When it comes to weight I always use 6mpg = 6lbs.

So if I’m 180lbs over on my drives I know it’s 30gals. 180/6. With that in mind I have to drive 180 miles before I can hit a scale.

Of course it would be better to slide it out if you’re not over Gross if you can. When the math works I’m not willing to burn 1/2 a day getting reloaded and re-scaled.
